Program Reviews:
Summer 2024 Participant
Experiencing the culture of Germany while simultaneously learning how the Cold War affected Germans by people who experienced it was fascinating.

Summer 2023 Participant
Most transactions in Germany are handled with cash rather than credit card. Lots of places don't even have card readers, so it's a good idea to always have cash on you!

Summer 2023 Participant
Honestly, the most rewarding part of going to Berlin was being able to explore by myself. Having time to be in a new place with only a few people you know incentivizes experiences that you wouldn't have if you were sitting in your living room at home. Pushing myself to leave my comfort zone was, by far, the best part of my four-week endeavor.
