<b>Dining Commons Info Table: IAU France<br>
Wednesday, March 5 @ 11:30am-1pm</b><br>
IAU offers a compelling combination - the assurance of a rigorous
American form of education thoroughly integrated into all that is
exceptional and powerful in French culture. In smaller cities like Aix
and Avignon, where Americans are not quite so common a sight, it is
easier to meet residents and other students spontaneously, and to speak
French.<br>
