What are your views on the American Business School Paris?
I was wondering if anybody here has gone – what your opinions are about the school and what are the job prospects like?

INSEAD is the only place to consider.
What about for undergraduate study? I know INSEAD is amazing for graduate school – but I want an excuse to move to Paris as soon as high school is over!
I have no idea about the college, but I hope you speak french if you intend to live in Paris for any amount of time. They’re not big on English.
If you don’t, have you considered UK, Ireland or any Scandinavian countries (Scandinavians are generally known to have good English skills).
Well, I don’t speak French, but I would like to. The American Business School Paris teaches all their classes in English – and naturally the best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it – and four years of living in Paris would always help…
Just be aware that most people on the streets of Paris will refuse to speak English.
I know, I’ve visited several times. I can speak a conversational level of French, but would like to develop a more broad and deeper understanding of the language.
If you really want a broad and deep understanding of the language, then you should go to a school that teaches all of their classes in French. As much as living with a host family helped immerse me in the language, having to write all of my papers in French (where I was only identified by a code so no professor knew I was American) made me fluent really quickly. In my opinion it’s a richer experience, and gives you a much greater understanding of Parisian culture.
