BOSP’s Stanford in Paris program receives mixed reviews about homestay

Paris – the “City of Lights” – has attracted people throughout the centuries with its glittering scenery, world-renowned cuisine and warm culture. The Stanford Bing Overseas Studies Program (BOSP) in Paris offers students the chance to experience “la vie en rose” by immersing themselves in French culture and interacting with locals, but the program has received greatly disparate reviews from its alumni, particularly in regard to its homestay aspect.
