At Saint-Ursule, you can always count on there being some sort of game going on in the central courtyard. Usually, it’s a game of volleyball, where there are as many as 8 people to each side of the court. There are often students sitting on the windowsills of the gymnasium, even though there are signs clearly stating the illegality of these actions. Over the course of the day, I often saw couples in the courtyard. When I later asked my exchange student about PDA in France, she said it was normal and that it didn’t bother anyone. These are only a few examples of the bizarre differences between French and American culture.
