Everything You Need to Know About Attending French University in One Comprehensive Post
Before we even applied for our master’s degrees at the Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, Jalen and I vowed to share every possible aspect of our experience as Americans in French public university online. We longed to consume content that would peel back the curtain and showcase the realities of graduate school in France so that we could feel prepared to take on the formidable task of attending university abroad.
At the time, the information we were able to find online was at best incomplete, and at worst totally unhelpful. In many ways, we felt that our experience in French university would have been improved had we known what to expect in advance. So, we decided to step up to the plate and create the content we wanted to see for ourselves.
In this master post, you’ll find the aggregate of the two and a half years of work that we’ve done to accurately portray the entirety of our time as American master’s degree students in France. You’ll find all of our monthly updates, how-to guides, specialized advice, detailed reviews, and more. If you have a question about what we underwent as American graduate students in France, you’re almost certain to find the answer below. Happy browsing!
