Great Time in Freiburg

My experience with the IES Freiburg study abroad program was nothing short of exceptional. The academic quality, cultural immersion, and support were top-notch. Professors engaged us in the city and made learning in German a joy. Cultural excursions enriched my understanding of Germany. Living in an apartment with other German students was invaluable for language practice and cultural integration, and was the highlight of my semester abroad. The program's staff were always there to help, making ...

The hike up to Burg Kybfelsen east of Freiburg paid off. A stranger I asked to take a photo caught me between poses.

In a city as metropolitan and diverse as Berlin, it's impossible to see an explore everything in a single semester - or a single lifetime for that matter. That said, Berlin is amazing, and there's something for everyone if know where to look, and you're not afraid go out of your comfort zone finding it.

My year abroad in Berlin has been one of the best experiences of my life.

Alumni

I chose to study abroad in Berlin, Germany, mainly because it was a large, German speaking city. Also, I knew that Berlin was a lot different from other cities in Germany. 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.

Alumni

I decided to apply to go abroad because I wanted to experience a different culture than my own, and I was very intent on becoming fluent in another foreign language. Cultural and language immersion were my most important goals for studying abroad and the program with IES Abroad enabled me to accomplish those goals.

Alumni

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.
