The Best Place on Earth

The IES Abroad European Union Program located in Freiburg, Germany was everything I could have wanted and more. Not only is Freiburg an exciting University town filled with fun bars, affordable restaurants, tons of outdoor activities, and friendly locals, the program itself is extremely unique. Three huge trips are built into the program allowing students to put the knowledge they learned in the classroom to fruition by seeing European political and economic systems at work across the continent. Through conferences, meetings, tours, and speeches, the students are able to apply their studies firsthand and really understand the cultural underpinnings of diverse European societies. I would go back in a heartbeat!
