360 Degree Learning

The IES EU study abroad program was the spark that ignited my flame for wanting to learn from everyone and everything. The staff and faculty were the most caring people who were willing not only to support me in my new lifestyle but also were absolutely up to the challenge of listening to my desires to engage in the community and allow me the opportunity for it to happen. Freiburg was a beautiful community, and there was no shortage of people who wanted to assist me to become part of the community. I found that because my fellow US American students had various goals, it would have been nice to incorporate students from other countries into the program as well. That said, we had a lot of fun with EU simulations and model conferences which were great exposure to our core studies.
