Program Reviews:
Mackenzie Kay Davis, Summer 2012 Participant
The most rewarding parts of the program were being able to travel and experience a new culture. It was great to see how other countries view things and how different their customs and values are compared to ours in the United States.

Summer 2014 Participant
The fact that we learned from the city more than we did from power-points or examples. The city itself could've been used as our textbook.

Kara Rose Lewis, Summer 2012 Participant
This is definitely a program worth doing whether your major is environmental studies, architecture, or engineering. This program offers a variety of learning opportunities within different majors.

Summer 2012 Participant
I really enjoyed all of the afternoon field trips. Taking trips to the European Parliament, the organic winery, and the ecologically friendly hotel made for great supplements to the classroom content.

Summer 2012 Participant
I enjoyed living in the city of Freiburg. It was a vibrant, fun place with many cultural attractions and was easy to navigate.
