Experiences of our students
My first month in Seattle
Even before my semester abroad, I had already decided that I really wanted to go to the U.S. West Coast. I quickly chose Seattle, mainly because of its unique combination of a big city, mountains, water, and nature.
City University of Seattle – between online studies and campus life
When I look back on my double degree at City University of Seattle, one thing stands out above all else: This experience wasn’t just a typical semester abroad, but a program that adapts very well to real life.
Between everyday life and change: A reflection on my semester abroad in Barcelona
When I look back on my semester abroad, one feeling clearly stands out: lightness. A lightness in everyday life, in thinking, in being. It was not a time of dramatic events, but rather each individual day that slowly shaped me into the person I am today. In hindsight, I would say that my semester abroad influenced me quietly, but in a lasting way.
¡Hola Barcelona! My Start at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
During an information event at my university, I first heard about World of Students, and after a short conversation, it became clear that I would be going to the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
Semester Review – China Edition
It’s hard to believe how quickly this semester has passed. A semester full of adventures, new friendships, and personal challenges that I will not forget anytime soon.
First steps in China: My start at XJTLU
After my first impressions, I knew that China was the place for me. The decision to attend Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in Suzhou felt surprisingly right, and came quickly.
