There’s not just one but FOUR COPIES of ‘Paris Sketchbook’ by Jason Brooks to win over on Making Magique. ENTER HERE!

Hello Haleigh! I'm currently a junior in highschool and interested in going to AUP. I follow your instagram and just found out today that you're an alumni! I read your FAQ on your site, along with your "My Paris" which filled me with even more impatience for Paris, and I still have some questions about your AUP experience. Did you stay in the offered student housing? What would you recommend doing? How did you support yourself while in school -- a loan, your parents, or a job?

Hi there, yes I graduate from AUP. I never lived in the student housing as I wanted to have as much of a real life in Paris outside of campus as possible. AUP does not really have student housing, they do however have a housing department that will help you find a place to live through verified landlords. I never used it but the experience can be a bit stressful as you have to choose quickly. There is one thing called The French House for freshman girls that is shared living that is sometimes available. I would recommend living in another neighborhood than school and having activities outside, this is how you will really experience french life, make french friends, learn the language, and profit most from you experience in the city.

I had a partial academic scholarship that help paid my tuition and my parents and I were fortunate enough for them to be able to pay the rest. You should definitely apply for a scholarship if going there. In terms of living I worked my last two years every hour of the week I was not in class as a strategic planner at an advertising agency which was a great gig I managed to score. I really lucked out as they took care of me there and treated me as a family and accommodated my school work with my crazy working hours that often even involved me traveling internationally during the week for meetings. In hindsight I don’t know how I got through it all but it was a huge financial help to me while in school. As a foreign student you are entitled to work part time, and there are lots of nanny, translation, and other jobs you can do in Paris if you look hard enough.

I hope that is helpful and best of luck to you!

XOXO,
Haleigh
