Spring 2018 Participant
I loved traveling on the weekends. School schedules are pretty flexible at WHU with most classes only meeting once a week, so it was easy to plan trips around class.

Spring 2018 Participant
My favorite part about WHU was how small of a town and school setting it was in. At KU, there are so many students and people who live in Lawrence, but in Vallendar everybody knew one another.

Miranda R Roberts, Spring 2018 Participant
I would urge future WHU students to take a German language course and meet as many local and international students as possible. The German courses are free and help you communicate with the locals and learn more about the history and traditions of your home for the next four months. While it may seem like more work, it was one of the most rewarding parts of my experience.
