Program Reviews:
Elizabeth Ann Post, Spring 2014 Participant
My favorite part of the Trier program was meeting new people from such a diverse cultural background and language. Having little German knowledge, I had to make friends quickly in order to have additional support and assistance when making my way through my daily life. Because they were kind enough to help me find my way, we are certainly more than just acquaintances; we have truly kept a bond that nobody else could have experienced without that opportunity. This idea of stepping outside of my comfort zone is what truly is my favorite part of this experience. I would not have normally approached people like I had while studying abroad without that experience. Traveling to unknown parts of the country (as well as other countries), became easier, because I was able to approach people more. Since arriving back in the US, I have certainly maintained this mentality, and I feel quite appreciative having had this experience.

My favorite part of my program was meeting new people and getting to experience places and things I never would have at home.

Alexandra Ann Welch, Spring 2015 Participant
Studying abroad for a whole semester was one of the best decisions I have made in college, and I encourage you to do the same. Two months into the program I felt like I had just arrived and knew I didn't want to leave anytime soon - so I would encourage future students to choose a full semester program as well. I found that meeting people and truly getting to know them was one of my favorite parts of the experience and I don't think I could have done that in a shorter program.
