Google’s Super Bowl Ad
Thanks to a Google ad which began with the phrase “Study Abroad Paris France”, study abroad made a poignant yet unexpected appearance at the Super Bowl XLIV. The ad showcased the many ways one can utilize Google, from finding a study abroad program, to impressing a girl, and finally to assembling a crib.

Love is in the air…
With Valentines Day quickly approaching, we cannot help but declare our love for study abroad!
For those of you who caught the “Parisian Love” Google Ad during tonight’s Super Bowl, you probably also felt the magic in the air. It was certainly one of the best commercials of the evening, resulting in a simultaneous “awwww” in households throughout the country.
The Abroad101 team was particularly excited to see the Google commercial given our eHarmony parody ad campaign. The combination of featuring the romantic side of study abroad and the incorporation of France makes the similarities in both videos quite uncanny.
Well done, Google! Paris, je t’aime.
