“Midnight in Paris,” but I’m a firefighter on an engineering program

As a first year student of the “Ingénieur Polytechnicien” program, my first few days at the campus, silly enough, didn’t take place on campus. That was because the Student Association organized many trips for the class of 2022 to bond.

My master's program in Paris

I have always been attracted to French culture. French cities, French food, French music, French architecture; everything has always amazed me. Maybe it is because I was enrolled in a French Lycée since I was three years old.

Paris ne me résistera pas....

Il est jeune, brillant, ambitieux. Au fond de lui, une boucle résonne sans cesse : "Paris ne me résistera pas...".

Au milieu de Paris pour le cinéma

Paris, une ville belle aux lumières splendides, est parmi les villes chères dans le monde. Cependant, elle est une ville qui regorge de merveilles et une multiplicité de cultures incroyable. Je m’appelle Marie, d’origine burundaise, j’ai 23ans, et je suis étudiante en deuxième année de licence dans le cinéma, à l’Université Sorbonne Nouvelle.
