Every year, students from partner institutions all over the globe come to Ashesi through exchange programs to enrich their academic experience and learn about Ghana. Over the last academic year, Lise Chesnais and Ines Berrahou joined us #atAshesi from Sciences Po. Lise Chesnais shares her year abroad experience.
My Ashesi experience
After learning about the African continent during my first year, I decided to study in Ghana. I wanted to experience living and learning in an African country and improve my English.
Ashesi University was the right institution to help me achieve my objectives, as I could continue studying about Africa here. The school offers several courses related to Africa. I was able to experience a new educational system, as well as different methods and approaches to talking about the continent and its issues.
My classes were run the same way they were at my school in France. As for my goal of improving my English, Ashesi helped me a lot. Most of the teachers and students were very supportive and pushed me to improve. One thing I appreciated about Ashesi was how easy it was to make friends or meet new people. Whether it was students, staff or faculty, they all made me feel at home.
The Office of Diversity and International Programs (ODIP) team were helpful and answered all my questions throughout the year. I felt at ease thanks to their kindness and care.
