" American Institute For Foreign Study (AIFS) has programs in Cannes, Grenoble, and Paris IV, but there was not too much information about the overall structure of the programs. Students who have gone abroad on this program have sometimes ended up taking courses that are not advanced enough (repeating work at the intermediate level and thus not receiving credit for certain courses).
" Hood College, which used to send students to Strasbourg, has discontinued its program - at least for one year.
" Smith College & Brown University have study abroad programs, but these cost around $40,000/year.
