“I had a great time with my host family. I can honestly say that they are the first reason why my experience in France was so exceptional. Unlike staying at the university residence, a host family offers French conversation and French cuisine each night. I was taken on excursions on weekends where I had nothing planned, I was free to go out where guest friends at home but most importantly, I had a support system when I needed it most. In addition, I perfected my French faster than I could have imagined! “
