Blog: McDonald ’21 Eager to Immerse Himself in “New World” During Year Abroad in France

Name: Jacob McDonald ‘21

Hometown: Paxton, Massachusetts

Areas of study: Computer science and French double major

Studying abroad at: Université de Bourgogne in Dijon, France

Duration: Full academic year

Why France? “Having studied French language and culture for nearly eight years, I felt as though my academic experience in French would not suffice having only learned about it in the classroom. I find that immersing myself in a new world and seeing what life is like outside of the United States is crucial to comprehending another culture.”
