Paris and the French Countryside
“Traveling to Europe proved to be both architecturally and culturally enlightening. It goes without saying that studying architecture in any other manner other than personally experiencing the actual structure is merely a substitute to which a comparison can hardly be made.”
“I think the most exciting part of the trip was when we walked out of the airport in France. Your nerves are filled with excitement and your adrenaline rushing - then it finally hits you, “You’re actually in Paris.” It’s the greatest feeling!
“It was in Paris that I found a new meaning to my work as an architecture student, artist, and person. One cannot easily erase just how beautiful the culmination of historical treasures that line the streets of this city. This trip taken with Anne Arundel Community College has become a new phase in the way I look to the world for inspiration and knowledge.”
"Paris was an experience that I would not trade for anything."
