Take advantage of every free moment you get. Obviously, take the time you need to be a functioning human being (sleep, eat, relax, etc.), but take advantage of everything! Germany is beautiful, the public transportation is marvelous, and the country is your oyster.

Being immersed in the culture of Berlin for four full weeks was life-changing. Not only did I learn about the history of the country, but I learned about myself. The way of life in Germany fosters a certain level of self-reflection, learning, and growth on multiple levels. Because of the study abroad, I found myself returning to the United States with new perspectives about people, myself, and society as a whole.

Most transactions in Germany are handled with cash rather than credit card. Lots of places don't even have card readers, so it's a good idea to always have cash on you!
