Program Reviews:
Holden Ann Zimmerman, Spring 2017 Participant
The program has many planned events for the students to participate in, including the Bonn Buddy program, which I highly recommend. There are also opportunities to conduct language tandems, which let you meet even more students at the University of Bonn.

Juliana Yajing Hacker, Spring 2016 Participant
It is slightly daunting to move to another country for five months, but keep in mind that the Junior Year Program helps you the entire time. There were very few times that I had no idea what was happening or felt that I had no help.

Noah Avery Ottinger, Spring 2012 Participant
The University of Bonn offered excursions to its participants in cities and sites all over Germany without any extra cost to the JYP-it was all included. The opportunities to be lead through Germany by Germans were an amazing part of the program and it allowed me to see and understand the country in a way that would have been muddled up by a guidebook. Some of my favorite memories from the program involve evenings in a the parks and gardens with Germans and workers from the international office.

Nicholas Peter Konowitz, Spring 2012 Participant
The greatest part of this program is that it allowed for me to meet so many different people from so many different countries. It also gave me the opportunity to truly use my German. I was able to make so many close friends while using German as are primary langauge! This program allows for the individual to decide how much language immersion he or she wants. Their are plenty of people speaking english, spanish, German and many other languages therefor people of all levels can benefit. It is truly a great program!
