This trip to Berlin has definitely been the highlight of my college experience so far. Being immersed in a whole new culture – language, food, transportation, and more – has been an amazing experience and I’ve learned so much throughout my time. Some highlights were our weekend trips where we travelled to places like Köln and Bremen and got to see lots of architecture and history, and our time exploring Berlin as a group. I made a lot of new friends and enjoyed our time as a group!
Our normal day looked like waking up around 7, eating a breakfast of bread and meat, then leaving to catch the bus to class around 8. We had engineering class every day at 9, then we had a German class in the afternoon. Between classes, we explored and found new places to eat, and myself and others also took advantage of a gym nearby. After classes, we stopped at supermarkets to get dinner, then returned to the hostel to eat and do homework. Lastly, on weekends we had our trips around Germany!
I would encourage all engineering students to do this program. There is no better way to do a class like this than taking it in a foreign country!
