Program Reviews:
Sarah Corinne Cluff, Spring 2017 Participant
I thought the best part was participating in classes at the university level, and not just in the international office, since I got to meet so many new Germans and that's when I learned the most.

Samuel Odd Walter, Spring 2013 Participant
The beautiful city of Bonn and the University of Bonn. It was a beautiful and fun campus, and the city was a great place to be a student. The state and city government were very accommodating for all students, exchange or local (free public transport anywhere within the state was an example).

Juliana Yajing Hacker, Spring 2016 Participant
There were so many things that I loved about this program. Bonn is the perfect city to study abroad in. It is not too big and not too small, and there is always something to do or see in town. Also, it is aesthetically one of the most charming cities I have ever been to. I also loved meeting people from all around the world, and being able to communicate with them in German. It was great to be surrounded by people who loved the German language just as much as I did.

Noah Avery Ottinger, Spring 2012 Participant
The program offered a lot of chances to meet many different people from all over the world. I love meeting people and making new friends. It is a wonderful thing to make a friend, but to forge a friendship using another language is rewarding.
