Jacob S Middlebury College

"It was worthwhile for sure! I loved living in Berlin, it is an incredible city with many experiences to offer- there's really something for everyone here. I learned a lot in my classes and noticeably improved my German, which were after all my primary reasons for coming, so I'm by no means disappointed."
A student Middlebury College
"I certainly improved my French, which will be super useful, and I met some pretty cool people. I was also able to travel around a lot, which is really valuable to me.
