I learned to be independent. For the first time in my life, I was responsible my own living space. I was also forced to learn to cook. I left for Berlin feeling like a young adult and returned feeling like an adult. Nick Hendrix - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile. Best year of my life. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Academics wise most classes I took were of genuine interest to me, especially the two related to gender. I also gained exposure to knowledge about Europe from a European perspective. My favorite part of the program has to be my internship, where I got to practice my German in a more "real-life" setting and put my different langu...

Yes! I had a fantastic time learning how to be an adult and live completely on my own.

I learned a lot about cultural standards, specifically targeted toward German culture, but in my personal experience I encounter people from many different cultures because Berlin is an international city. It was worthwhile because through encountering others I learned a lot about myself and my behaviors. Lisa V R - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile for sure! I loved living in Berlin, it is an incredible city with many experiences to offer- there's really something for everyone here.

I became much more independent and comfortable being in situations that made me uncomfortable. I'm incredibly grateful I had this opportunity. A student - Freie Universität Berlin View Entire Review

I learned that I do not need an Institution as a mediator for my to live Abroad. Emily Moore - Wellesley College View Entire Review
After a semester in Berlin, taking classes at a German university and speaking with my friends and professors in German for four months, my language skills have dramatically improved. I became more familiar with German and Berlin culture and was able to critically compare it not only to the cultures of the United States but also... A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
