Summer 2012 Participant
Take full advantage of the black forest region. Trips to large European cities can be fun, but there is a lot to see in the Freiburg area.

Samantha Jean Harms, Summer 2016 Participant
The most rewarding was the lifelong lessons and lifelong friends I gained from the program. I made friends at KU, throughout the states, and throughout the world. I learned how to be environmental friendly, how this world could be sustainable, and was taught that everything we taught about in class is possible out in the real world. Other elements I found extremely rewarding were traveling, both by myself and with the class, learning about the outside world, learning about myself, hiking daily in the most beautiful place, and simply just being in Freiburg. This place can change someone's soul, and it certainly changed mine for the best.

Summer 2012 Participant
I loved hearing from guest speakers and learning more about sustainable urban planning. It was great to see the principles applied in Freiburg firsthand.

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.

Mackenzie Kay Davis, Summer 2012 Participant
I learned a lot about myself and how Americans live as a whole in comparison to another country. At first I was worried about the dramatic change in culture, but realized I should not be scared of the culture, but embrace the differences it has with the United States. It was a really great eye opener to another part of the world.
