Take advantage of every free moment you get. Obviously, take the time you need to be a functioning human being (sleep, eat, relax, etc.), but take advantage of everything! Germany is beautiful, the public transportation is marvelous, and the country is your oyster.

Getting to immerse myself in a new culture was by far the most rewarding part of the program. We could learn what we learned back at KU but being able to apply our knowledge to the history of Berlin was such a unique experience. I also really enjoyed meeting Germans and getting the first-hand account of the history. Specifically, hearing two East Germans speak about their life growing up in East Berlin was very rewarding to me.

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!
