Community Reflection: A German Way
My study abroad experience in Germany has been incredibly informative culturally, socially, and academically. Munich is aesthetically very similar to Pittsburgh and the United States – I feel comfortable on the campus of the University of Applied Sciences like I do back home at Pitt.
