Hey everyone! My name is Cora, I’m a senior studying Linguistics and German at the University of Iowa, and I spent all of last year studying abroad in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, through the Academic Year in Freiburg program! I’m excited to be taking over the DAAD Instagram today to share about my experience :)
My year in Germany was undoubtedly the best part of my time in college. Freiburg is my favorite city in the world with stunning views, a beautiful and lively Altstadt, and an amazing focus on sustainability. Freiburg is also situated in the southwestern corner of the country, so it’s a great starting point for lots of travel! I was able to visit so many amazing places while I was abroad, but I always found that I was happiest to be in Freiburg, spending time with the lovely friends I made there.
Studying in Freiburg also helped me discover an interest in working in the behind-the-scenes parts of study abroad. During my second semester, I worked as an office intern for my program, and learned about the inner workings of my experience. When I came back to the U.S., I knew I wanted to continue to be involved. Now, I serve as a DAAD Young Ambassador and work with the UIowa German Program and UIowa International Programs to continue to promote studying German and studying abroad to other students!
