5/22/2025 and Trip in review – Maddie Little

On the last day we went to the Rotterdam soccer stadium which was cool. It was quite different than the Munich soccer tour. Overall this trip was incredible. I did another 2 week maymester and this one was by far way more interesting. At the conclusion of the trip I feel like I understand German/Dutch/European [...]

Our walking tour was awesome and we got a lot of good information from Sandy. I wish we would have more days in [...]

The visit was saddening but impactful and it helped me understand the sheer size of these events that I couldn't fully [...]

At the German university I really enjoyed working with the other students and learning about their experiences and lifestyles as students in Germany. I thought it was interesting how the classroom expectations from both countries are drastically different. I would love to be able to expirence what a lecture or lab looks like in Germany [...]

The stadium tour was super cool even tho I don’t follow soccer at all. The most interesting thing I learned about the different styles of art/architecture within the palace on our tour. I have been to Versailles with my family and it was cool to see what styles have been influenced by the French and [...]

Today we went to the Porsche factory and did a walking tour of Munich. Porsche was cool but I think I would have gotten more out of it if we were able to get an English tour. One interesting aspect of the Porsche factory is they had a different approach for their production lines and [...]
