Academic Year 2023 Participant
Reach out to people for help with the bureaucracy! The processes are painstakingly slow and often tedious, including at Uni Stuttgart. Stay on top of deadlines for registration, payments, etc. At the end of the day, though, enjoy the time in Germany and try to have fun. It's okay to sacrifice a letter grade to make the most of your time here.

My favorite part of the program was the German course in Vienna, and spending three months living there over the summer 2023. The length of the program also allows for time to experience much more and develop deeper relationships and practice the language.

Being able to understand it is possible to create community no matter where you go. I was able to go to Germany with little German and no friends to understanding the language enough to get by and created many friends from all over Europe and the world in the process!
