This document summarizes Levana Luu's 6-month academic exchange at Sciences Po Paris from February to January 2009. It discusses her courses in the Science and Sustainable Development program, experiences learning in French, insights into French politics and culture, and lessons learned about enjoying life in Paris through activities like Ultimate Frisbee and visiting local boulangeries. The most important thing Levana learned was to not get mad but instead stay glad and make the most of new experiences through travel, studying, joining clubs, and challenging herself.
