Nothing compares to
first-hand experience, and I
experienced more in three
months in Berlin than I would
have studying German and
Politics at my university in
New York for eight years.Elizabeth R.
My experience [in Bonn] was truly the most
academically challenging and rewarding experiences of
life. It was a life-changing experience that gave me new
communication and learning skills that I am positive wi
