- The excursion to
Strasbourg was certainly a
highlight. We had the
opportunity to visit and tour
the European Parliament building
and meet the director. Touring
Strasbourg Castle was really
neat. I've never seen or been in
a castle before. It was neat to
get to see how different the two
cultures (Germany and France)
are, yet they are so close in
geographical location.
- I enjoyed the excursion to the
Mercedes Benz factory and the
visit to the Mercedes Museum. I
was highly impressed by the way
they ran their business- very
efficient. And the museum was
like something out of the
future.
- The Italian opera in the park
was also a great experience as I
have never been to an opera
before.
- I really enjoyed the excursion
to SAP corporate headquarters.
They treated us like kings and
queens. There was so much
interactive futuristic
technology in and around the
building. Everyone in the
program left wanting to work for
the company. I've never seen
anything like it.
- Germany in general was a great
experience. It is such a
beautiful country. So much
beautiful architecture and old
buildings. I absolutely adored
the city of Heidelberg.
- The accommodations in the
Guest House on the campus were
wonderful. The rooms far
exceeded my expectations.
- The German people were great.
I wanted to spend more time
there. I made some really great
German friends.
- I also like the public
transportation as it was very
easy and convenient to get
around without a car.
- I really appreciated the way
the staff members and professors
cared for us and went out of
their way to make sure we were
okay and enjoying the program.
I would recommend this program
to everyone! Everyone should go.
I've already been suggesting it
to some of my friends on campus.
I had the time of my life. I am
so glad I decided to go. It was
well worth the money.
