I learned how to confidently interact with people who don't speak my native language and gained lots of self confidence in the process A student - Northern Arizona University View Entire Review
I think I gained a lot of confidence and independence, I had been abroad before in a non-academic setting but four months in a foreign country where I traveled a lot really pushed me into a new part of my life. I also understand the relationship of language to identity a lot more and feel like I can really understand immigration... Skye Siladi - University of Maine - Orono View Entire Review
I gained so much from this experience and I appreciate the opportunity. I would 100 percent move to Germany again and I plan on it. I fell in love with the country more than I thought and I can thank this experience. While I would not use this program again, I can say that with it's ups and down's it was a nice experience.

Study abroad is not a joke. If a student's study abroad priority is to vacation, travel, meet neat American from all over the US and party, you would be better in a different program in a larger city with a light class load. If you are interested in really studying a culture, learning the language aggressively and working hard ... A student - Salisbury University View Entire Review

Amazing friends, a real understanding of the culture, things I appreciate or take for granted and new things that I am bringing back to the states! A student - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review
My ability to empathize with people from other cultures has grown tremendously. I truely know what it is like to live in a foreign land where you do not know or understand the day to day workings of that society. A student - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and I met so many incredible people. It was worthwhile but at times, it was also a huge struggle. A student - University of the Pacific View Entire Review
This was GREAT. I was glad for the support, and it allowed me to learn more of the German language and culture than if I was studying it here. I definitely gained an understanding of what it might be like for immigrants or visitors to the U.S., and Germany to me was such a comfortable culture I wish I had been there long and lea...

The best thing to come out of this study abroad program was the time I spent away from the staff! Rene T - Northeastern Illinois University View Entire Review
I was able to perfect my German speaking ability, writing comprehension, and confidence in language Charlotte K - Goucher College View Entire Review
I absolutely loved being in Germany and there was time to travel around the country and see how diverse of a place it is. However I really went to Germany to an educational experience and I didn't get that. Part of the problem with the summer program is that it does not match up with the German university schedule. For half of t... Sarah K - Texas A&M - College Station View Entire Review
No words can accurately describe what I have gained from studying abroad. It was most certainly worthwhile, and I will do anything and everything possible to return. Dustin Baumgardner - West Texas A&M University View Entire Review
I can now read and understand most German and even help explain grammar topics better. I can hold more abstract conversations. A student - Berea College View Entire Review
It was 100% worthwhile. I learned more about myself than I think I ever have at my university in the US. Through travel I learned confidence, through the program I learned to take risks with language, and how to evolve and adapt to new situations. I'll be going back to the United States knowing that I am a stronger, more wel... Lauren K - Virginia Commonwealth University / VCU View Entire Review

Overall, I would definitely recommend this program. I would only make small recommendations to improve the program A student - University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse View Entire Review
I learned much about european culture, I traveled a lot. It was a great experience! A student - Metropolitan State University of Denver View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile! Aside from learning German, a whole new language to me, I learned a lot about myself from being completely out of my comfort zone and facing a lot of new challenges Sarah M - University of Nevada - Reno View Entire Review

It was amazing! Now I want to see the whole world!! Breanna B - University of North Dakota View Entire Review
I had fun but wish that my program would have tried harder at making sure that the learning of the language was a priority for students who wanted it to be and made sure that there were resources to help them do so. Gabrielle W - Western Washington University View Entire Review

Outstanding program which is affordable and a chance of a lifetime. I would highly encourage students to take this opportunity. Jacob C - University of Nevada - Reno View Entire Review
