We went to the airport to greet him on his arrival. He had a successful semester and is looking forward to returning for his next semester.
Based on his experience, he plans to take more French classes than he originally considered. He will also be taking a class on the history of Paris through photography. He has a keen interest in photography and has shown talent.
He did witness some of the protests. His French friends are about evenly split on the issues. He was inconvenienced but stayed well out of the fray.
Instead of staying in an apartment next semester, he has opted to stay with a family. He will be only a few blocks from the Champs Elyse and close to the Arch de Triomphe, which will be a prime location and a lot closer to school.
Will did a remarkable job of navigating both his first semester of college and living in a foreign country. It's been a great boost to his self confidence and I'm sure it will help him in the future.
