If you’re thinking about studying abroad, here are 15 reasons why I chose the City of Lights and why you should too!
1, Perfect for studying art history – Finish your core requirements!
2. Centrally located – Paris is only a 1-2 hour flight from most major cities in Europe, great excuse to visit all your friends.
3. You get to learn French in the city that defined the words “romantic” and “chic”.
4. There’s never a dull moment! – There’s always something to do, or a new area, street or café to explore.
5. The city is your classroom – Le Louvre, Centre Pompidou, Musée d’Orsay, L’Orangerie, Musée Picasso, Musée Rodin, or Musée Carnavalet, the museums are endless.
6. It’s acceptable to have wine and cheese with every meal, and of course a baguette!
7. And macaroons too.

9. Even in the rain, Paris is still magical.
10. Because you’re walking amongst history.
11. As one of the biggest cities in Europe for students, there’s always something fun going on, opportunities to make new friends, and tons of discounts for students.
