Franklin & Marshall

Although Sarbonne is the premier university in Paris, you will never catch students lounging in their Sarbonne sweatshirt and matching sweatpants- or heaven forbid the “college tshirt”. No, French college students hang out and smoke and eat on the steps of the Pantheon or at cafes nearby and there is nothing to distinguish a college Parisian from any other young Parisian in the neighborhood. This being said- when you visit Paris, you’ll probably wonder why half of their young adults are wearing Franklin & Marshall sweat shirts, caps, and t-shirts. Is there a really strong exchange program with the small PA Liberal Arts College and Paris? Nope. Franklin & Marshall is a clothing brand- a very popular clothing brand. So I guess if college-wear isn’t fashionable enough for Parisian universities to sell- they’ll knock off American universities and make a clothing line out of it. Sometimes the irony just makes me laugh.
