A new academic year, a new class, and a whole lot of AUP spirit 💙

We loved welcoming our newest degree-seeking students at this year’s First-Year Success Welcome Fair! With a musical fanfare, activities, and plenty of opportunities to connect, it was the perfect way to kick off the semester.

Here’s to new beginnings, new friends, and plenty of Paris adventures ahead.

For over 60 years, the start of fall at AUP has looked a lot like this: a fresh batch of students settling into the 7th arrondissement, making new friends, studying their maps, and hunting for a good espresso.

Orientation week is almost here, so we dug into the archives. Swipe through to see how the fashion and hairstyles have changed since 1962. The excitement of arriving in Paris? Exactly the same.

Town & Country Magazine recently named The American University of Paris one of the best international universities for American students.

The piece highlights what makes AUP distinct: no gated campus, just full immersion in the 7th arrondissement, a U.S. liberal arts curriculum, and a student body representing more than 100 nationalities. AUP also remains FAFSA eligible, a rare advantage among European universities. Read the full article: https://bit.ly/4fVllXz
