Summer 2026 Participant
I learned that it would be highly beneficial to have beginner-level skills in the native language as I wish I knew more German going into the trip.

Miranda J Doores, Summer 2018 Participant
I loved that we got to live with other German and international students in the student living quarters. That really helped us make friends and get more involved in clubs, groups, etc.

Summer 2026 Participant
My favorite part of the program was the destination, Regensburg is an incredibly beautiful city and the hotel is located very central in the city. Being able to explore every night and enjoy the city like a local would allowed me to make Regensburg feel like home.

Summer 2018 Participant
The elements that I found to be the most rewarding were the opportunity to learn through observing and experiencing the local culture of Freiburg and having three-day weekends to travel and explore other countries and cultures!

Summer 2018 Participant
My favorite part of the program was the connection between classes and the city. After every class I would walk around my temporary home city and see it in a whole new way, thanks to the topics we had covered in class.
