"Yes, I loved study abroad. I've learned so much about myself, I traveled almost every weekend, which was great for me and was my goal.

"I fell in love with Lüneburg in my three months there. The town is absolutely beautiful. Coming from the US, it's crazy to see so many old, old buildings that go so far back. The courses aren't incredibly challenging, but if it's learning German that you want, spend more time out in the town and less inside the dorm room. "

"The experience was a life changing experience. ISA was a fantastic program. They were very helpful and were there as much or as little as you needed them to be. American Business school had inadequate facilities, and some inadequate professors. However, it was very international which served to be a great learning experience."
