FC Metz is one of the oldest professional football teams in France and plays in the Stade (stadium) Saint-Symphorien in Metz.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAll 21 students of the EU Program attended the match to cheer on Metz as they played their last game of the season. Using lipstick to paint their faces, the students joined in the excitement of a win by Metz! One student, James Bryan, described the experience of being amongst the fans at the game.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;When [FC Metz] scored, we would get covered with smoke from flares they were setting off and flares from the other side of the stadium, too. Everyone was cheering!\u0026rdquo; James said.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis experience is a prime example of how studying abroad at Georgia Tech-Lorraine takes learning outside of the classroom. Students are immersed in the culture around them through food, sports, language, and more. It is a unique experience to continue momentum toward a Georgia Tech degree while traveling around Europe and living out once in a lifetime experiences.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more details about Georgia Tech-Lorraine, visit \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gtvault-my.sharepoint.com\/personal\/acrain9_gatech_edu\/Documents\/Documents\/lorraine.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Elorraine.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E.
