Paris is the city of dreams； the city of love． If you are thinking of heading to Paris for a study period， then perhaps a little reality check is in order． But my experience was a romantic one．
I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program． On arrival in Paris， I was constantly reminded of the official processes I was required to complete - forms to be filled in， meetings to attend， the list seemed endless． Perhaps it was due to my well organizational habit， but somehow this endless list of to-do's was completed in little more than a week．
Then the real work began． Once classes were underway， I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first， rather than last． This method turned out to be very helpful．
Once I had finished class for the week， I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit， neighborhoods to explore， cafés to sit in， and parks to run around． Read as many books about Paris as you can． Talk to as many locals and other foreigners living there as you can． The one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot． I discovered some of my favorite places in Paris by wandering． The people watching， the sounds of the city， the colors as the seasons change， they all add to the ecstasy that is experiencing Paris as an exchange student．
After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods， I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door， and with every spoken word． There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to be faced with the beautiful display of fruits， vegetables and dairy products． There is warmth in saying bonjour to the man across the hall．
On my last day in Paris， I confidently said， "Bonjour Monsieur，" as I passed the little store down the street． I guess no matter how hard I tried I was always going to be an outsider， a tourist． The best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own unique way． Everyone's experience of Paris is different． I know mine is unique and special to me， my own little pieces of Paris．
