FU-BEST

The FU-BEST program had a lot of surprising features in it. I didn’t expect the program to be so well planned out and inclusive, but it was. I really enjoyed the cultural events that the university organized for us. I saw my first soccer match and was able to enjoy more traditional German operatic pieces. The organizers seemed to have put a lot of effort into making the process (especially within the very bureaucratic entanglement that Germany). The team provided lots of support and even accommodated me when I needed special help.
One thing that I regret not taking advantage of more during the program would have to be the Stammtisch. Would have been a great opportunity to make more friends outside of my immediate class groups.
One of my favorite parts would have to be the walking tour at the beginning, it was a beautiful and educational way of introducing the citiy to us.
