Wow. Our two weeks is officially over and I’ve been back home for a few days now. Oakland isn’t busy at all and is much different then Center City Augsburg that I’ve been so accustomed to throughout the last two weeks. One of the things I really enjoyed about Augsburg is the easy-going way of…

The final day of our trip! These past two weeks have flew by. On our last day we had a free day to do whatever we wanted so all of the group decided to go to Salzburg, Austria. The train ticket was only about 15 euros which I thought was a really good deal. After…

After our final presentations we took an excited visit to Regensburg. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it was one of my favorite cities yet. The main part of town was super cool with a bunch of shops and restaurants and the bridge going into town was very scenic and gave a great…

After a lot of preparation throughout the week the day has finally come- Presentation day. We woke up early to get to the university and after a little last-minute review we presented. I was apart of the Grob group, who specializes is industrial machinery and machine parts for mainly the automobile industry. They were super…

Today was a much needed free day. I started off the day with breakfast at the hotel and then worked on our project for a few hours following that. The hotel lobby has been a great spot for the whole trip so far. Whether it’s the breakfast, the afternoon coffee machine run, or just a…

Wow what a day. All of our visits were great, but this had to be my favorite yet. Our day at Audi starting off seeing a small showroom of some of their electric cars. We got to get in and take pictures in them and it was crazy to see how advanced and sleek electric…

Today was our eighth day in Augsburg, over half way done with our trip already. In honor of this, we took a look into some past history and visiting the Dachau Concentration Camp which was a prominent place during WWII. It is important to note Dachau was the first concentration camp in Germany and it…

We started our day in Munich’s historic heart at Marienplatz. It was super cool seeing the historic building, which was a lot younger than I expected- only about 150 years. I guessed 500 years old when our tour guide asked us. We witnessed the bird flapping its wings and men dancing which is a large…

Today consisted of a great visit to Landsberg am Lech. The whole day was free time so we got to explore on our own and go visit all the shops and restaurants which was super nice. Every small town here in Germany is stunning and full of new places and adventures. It’s also great how…

Today proved to be an exhilarating adventure as we embarked on a tour of Neuschwanstein Castle. I was particularly thrilled to take in the charming towns and picturesque mountains enveloping the village. Though the ascent was steeper than expected, the breathtaking panorama from the top made every step worthwhile. The castle tour itself was enlightening,…

Today we visiting two great companies, Grob and Forvia. We started the day at Grob where I was blown away by their buildings and facilities. Germany doesn’t have many modern skyscrapers like the US so it was cool to see Grob’s building as it was very modern and unusual for Germany. I really enjoyed the…

Our day was jam-packed with a Hoerbiger company tour and a Oberammergau visit. The company tour was great and very insightful. I would definitely work at the company as it provides a lot of opportunities in many different areas and niches. All of the employees we talked to were very enthusiastic and interested in the…

On our second day in Augsburg we had a busy day planned which consisted of a lot of fun activities. I was surprised by the breakfast at the hotel in the morning as in the US, I’m used to a sub-par hotel breakfast, however, our hotel’s breakfast was very good and the croissants in specific…

After the layover in Chicago we arrived in Munich and then bussed to Augsburg. Upon our arrival we walked around the city, seeing the Town Hall(pictured) as well as many other shops, restaurants, and sights. After walking around the city, we checked into our hotel and then headed out to our tour with Sylvia at…
