My name is Remy Mabboux, and I am studying abroad in France this semester! The university which I am studying at is Sciences Po Saint-Germain-en-Laye, located in a suburb close to Paris. I arrived just a few days ago, and have been trying to adjust to living alone, the different societal norms, and a new and unknown environment. Despite the nervousness of being an entire ocean away from my family and friends, I am excited to explore what France has to offer and challenge myself through meeting new people from many different corners of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worcester.edu\/presidents-office\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/01\/remy-2-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worcester.edu\/presidents-office\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/01\/remy-2-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/www.worcester.edu\/presidents-office\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/01\/remy-2.jpg 386w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/>You may be wondering what possessed me to study abroad in France in the first place. Well, first off, it was due to convenience. I already fluently read, speak, and write French, and as a Political Science major, Sciences Po (who specializes in Political Science, as you may have guessed based off the name) was a perfect fit for me. However, I also decided to go here due to our university\u2019s partnership with them. Unlike other study abroad options that go through a third party program (and thus cost more), Worcester State has a direct partnership with Sciences Po, allowing you to study abroad for Worcester State tuition! I also decided to study abroad due to my position as a Presidential Student Ambassador (PSA). As a PSA, I am employed by the school to formally represent it in certain situations. At first, I was anxious that my study abroad plans would interfere with my duties as a PSA, but to my relief, the PSA program encourages PSAs to study abroad and works with them to accommodate their trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I get set into my schedule and buy all the necessary things I need to survive, I will begin to post about more interesting things (I promise!). I hope you stay tuned to see what kinds of things I get up to in France!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone!
