Experiences of our students
My journey to New York – Planning and First Impressions
For many years, I had the desire to live in New York. For me, it was more than just a travel destination – it was a real dream that I absolutely wanted to make come true. In the fall of 2024, I discovered the opportunity through World of Students, and suddenly everything felt within reach. From that moment on, it was clear: I would do everything possible to make it happen.
Preparing for my semester abroad in Seattle
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to visit the USA – not just for a vacation, but to really immerse myself, live there, study, and experience everyday life. Now that I am about to complete my master’s degree, it was clear to me: if not now, then when?
Semester abroad on the other side of the world – My time in New Zealand
Much has happened during my time here and I honor every moment and memory this study abroad experience has brought to me. From learning fascinating things in class, over participating in clubs and volunteering opportunities, to spending time with my friends and traveling, everything has brought me joy and happiness.
My adventure abroad at St. Francis College
From exciting lectures and interesting tasks to walks through the diverse neighborhoods. This semester abroad has enriched my life in many ways. I gained a deeper insight into American culture, made valuable international contacts and strengthened my independence.
Studying at San Jose State University
For my semester abroad, I chose San Jose State University (SJSU) in California. The university is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, one of the world’s most important tech hubs. SJSU especially benefits from its proximity to major tech giants like Google, Apple, and Facebook, as well as countless start-ups.
Final report of my semester abroad in Malaysia
While writing this report, I’m sitting at the gate for my flight from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai, from where I’ll continue on to Germany. One eye is crying, the other is smiling. I’ve had the privilege of spending and studying five full months to the day in this incredible Asian metropolis, and I haven’t regretted a single one of them.
