Investigates the effects of French-English high school study abroad programs in Switzerland.

Living Their Best Life? is centered on the study abroad experiences of high school students enrolled in French-English programs in Switzerland. It aims at exploring students' experiences abroad regarding their social, cultural, and linguistic positionings and their possible impact on the experience. In this book, Murielle Ferry-Meystre provides valuable insights into the understudied subject of adolescents' experiences abroad. She also suggests practical recommendations for developing support programs for high school students before and during study abroad. Scholars, educators, and institutions will gain valuable insights, including a nuanced understanding of adolescents' experiences abroad and the benefits and drawbacks of such programs, as well as critical considerations related to social justice and equity.
