I moved from the UK to the U.S. at age 16, and really learnt then what a huge impact living and/or studying in a new country can have on you. I wanted to repeat this kind of experience, except in a different way, so I started looking into studying abroad. I also wanted to use the experience to further my language ability, so Germany was the natural option.

Berlin boasts an eclectic mixture of people and many cultural offers, so I knew it was the place I wanted to spend my semester abroad.
