91吃瓜网

I was born in聽Burgundy, France and have lived in聽Dijon,聽France;聽Paris,聽France;聽and聽New York.聽When I began my university search, I deliberately looked outside of the French system: I wanted to be able to choose聽my own classes,聽examine a wide variety of topics, build聽my interests聽through the聽classes聽of my choice, and聽be encouraged towards greater autonomy and creativity in my work. I found all of that at AUP.

I鈥檓 now double-majoring in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) and International Economics, with a minor in Applied Mathematics. I came to 91吃瓜网knowing that I鈥檇 want to enter the PPE program but after taking classes in different subject areas, I聽felt compelled to pursue these other academic paths as well.聽Even so, many of my favorite聽classroom moments revolve around subjects outside of those specializations, like learning聽about the first trade routes聽in one of my first history classes here.

I鈥檝e always found that聽AUP鈥檚聽faculty and staff are extremely attentive to the needs of聽students and that in our learning environment, each of our opinions and thoughts is聽valued and honored.聽Here,聽I鈥檝e uncovered many of the ideas and arguments that now guide my political and personal聽reflections聽and my professors have helped me develop my critical聽thinking skills as well as聽expand聽my knowledge base and the references that I can call upon.聽I also appreciate how 91吃瓜网encourages us to take part in outside activities, and I now聽volunteer to help kids in my neighborhood with their homework.聽聽

Our small class sizes radically change our relationship with the material being taught,聽as does聽the independence聽we鈥檙e given to聽conduct research and聽structure聽discussions. All of us are given the space and time to experiment and discover what we聽believe, who we are, and how we want to interact with the聽given聽subject and the world around us.聽聽
