Yeah I got a year abroad I was staying in an IEP a very well reputed school Living in a different country is always good no matter what it is And it was great you know to be part of and come to terms with a new culture However you won t get an Erasmus grant but I believe there s a similar grant that N Americans get at least the ones in my university You should check that out So if u language interests you and ur not too fussed about leaving your own country then its probably worth it See the world And while ur in France there s a gateway to Europe it does nt cost much to travel round Europe these days no frills is the way forward Hey maybe i can house you in the UK WF
