Favorite Lunch in the AUP Campus Area

Dong Phat, Vietnamese restaurant, 10 rue Malar, 75007 Paris. My favourite is the noodle soup with prawn dumplings, which is called S4 “soupe nouilles et raviolis aux crevettes”. Not forgetting the spicy sauce that I add to my noodle. 

One place in Paris everyone should visit

The tall, elegant and beautiful Eiffel Tower, especially when it is lighted up at night. I live nearby the Eiffel Tower, and no matter how many times I look at it, I am amazed by its charm.

Advice for students thinking about coming to AUP or going abroad for college

Always ask yourself questions. Why do you want to study abroad? Why do you choose this university? What will you gain from this experience? How can this experience benefit you? It is essential to research about the university and the city/country where the university is located before you make your decision. Also, get in touch with current students, professors and/or sit in on a class will give you an idea about the university and help you with your decision making. In short, find a university that fits you academically, personally and professionally.

Favorite day trip from Paris

Disneyland Paris. I visited Disneyland Paris five times during my first three years in Paris. Watching the Disney characters and children’s laughter make me happy.
