Overall Experience
Past Review I'm Glad I Went.
It was a great experience and I enjoyed being in Europe, so I'm glad I went. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Yes. Read before you sign! - None View Entire Review
Past Review Unbelievable
I learned about foreign languages/cultures/customs, as well as learned a lot about myself. It was certainly worthwhile. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how much I value the close relationships that are in my life. I learned that I don't want to take the people who matter to me for granted. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I definitely learn the importance of languages as I traveled around Europe and while living on an international campus. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Past Review Stress
My experience was like an enigma that I still haven't reexamined because of how much it affected me, not in ways necessarily positive. In some ways it was worthwhile, and in others it definitely was not. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Past Review Being In Bremen
I learned a lot about German Politics and Culture from the study abroad course. It was a very worthwhile experience, and to do that class again I would go back. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained a ton of independence that I didn't have before. I also increased my love of travel and my appreciation of other cultures. It was extremely worthwhile. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My experience was definitely worthwhile. I have actually changed my mind about what I want to do before graduate school. I want to return to Europe and either study or do independent research or work for a year or two before I attempt to get a PhD. - Rice University View Entire Review
I learned very little academically, but I gained a global perspective and many friends. Ultimately it was worth it entirely. - Washington State University View Entire Review
I definitely gained a greater independence. I now feel completely comfortable traveling on my own and trusting my instincts when it comes to foreign places. I have had to navigate certain situations that I feel have equipped me for the real world in many ways. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
This experience was incredibly worthwhile! I learned about other cultures, my own culture, and German culture. Not all learning has to take place in an academic space, and my experience at Jacobs reaffirmed this. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was definitely a worthwhile experience. I made a lot of friends, gained a lot of educational experience from working in a research lab and taking graduate level courses, and also was exposed to a lot of culture and diversity without traveling far from the university. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was so incredibly worthwhile. I learned a lot of advanced organic chemistry and organometallic synthesis and gained a lot from research experience. I met people from all over the world and saw a lot of Europe, taking advantage of my convenient location. Music, art, ultimate frisbee, clubs, beer, good food, good people, lan... - Wellesley College View Entire Review
This was the most worthwhile experience of my life. I learned a lot about myself by being in a place where I knew not one person going in and after 4 months came out with what I hope will be a group of lifelong friends. The best thing about Jacobs is the international community on campus. You learn so much from being in this com... - Wellesley College View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with Jacobs University: Bremen - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
I feel like a more competent person. I was able to travel around Europe on my own or in a small group without always having phone/internet access. I am much better at reading maps and my German and French have improved. I met some incredible people that I don't think I would have met otherwise. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with Direct Enrollment: Bremen - Jacobs University
If I could have met the same people elsewhere, I would choose a different program if I did it all over again. I really value the relationships I made with some of the exchange students and transfer students. It was nice that all of us were able to experience Jacobs for the first time together. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
