Germany is a wonderful place many things to offer Past Review

By Matthew B (BSEMET, Pennsylvania State University - Altoona) for

Penn State Altoona: Traveling - Motor Heads in Germany

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?

The experience, though short, had given me a brand new look on life in another culture. There are many things that I wish I could change about American culture that would reflect those in the German way of life. Most importantly, I feel as though I experienced something that the majority of American people don't get to do, and for that, I am very grateful.
