<p>I was looking at Dartmouth's French program, but it costs $8000 for four and a half weeks and that's a no-go. Do any of you have experience with this? I'd really like an study-abroad in France, or at least some sort of total-immersion program - thanks!</p>
<p>the best language immersion program in the US is the Middlebury/Monterey Summer Institute. I dont have a link for you, but if you google Middlebury Language School (which is world famous and is for college students) you will get a link to the one for high school students. The program costs around $4K. The study abroads can be misleading if they are not all immersion (youll have students taking a 2/3 hour class but speak english among themselves) TASIS and ATOLL do home stay programs</p>
