Wow! I can not believe our two weeks are over. I had the absolute best experience on this plus 3 trip to Germany! I am so thankful that I was granted this opportunity. Professor Feick and Claire were such a joy to travel with and made our time so enjoyable. Looking back, these two weeks…

Best day of my life. So, today was a free day… and the best day of my life. I have been obsessed with Harry Styles since I saw him for the first time on a commercial right when One Direction first started. I have been dying to see him preform but tickets in the US…

Today was the last day of program before our free day and then going home 🙁 . FINALLY, I had the chance to sleep in since I did not have to meet with my group until 12 pm. We arrived at the University hours before we were supposed to present so our group could practice…

This was a day I was looking forward to the whole trip. Finally, we got to go to the Neuschwanstein castle. Since I was little I have been dreaming about visiting this castle so to see it was a dream come true. The bus ride was early in the morning and long so I got…

We started off the day with a trip to Regensburg, which is one of Germany’s largest cities! This city was very special because during the wars that took place in Germany, Regensburg remained untouched. Niko said that some of the buildings were older than our founding of the USA, which I thought was a little…

Today was a very emotional day. We started the morning very early visiting a “re-education” concentration camp called Dachua. We had a scheduled tour with a guide who informed us all about what this camp was made for and what happened. Putting this in writing can be very uncomfortable and upsetting so this one will…

We started the morning off with driving through the country side of Germany to Baindlkirch so we could grab some breakfast. It was an easy, short bus ride but of course everyone fell asleep…again. Here authentic sausages were being served. Personally I can not eat sausages so I ate a couple pieces of fruit off…

Waking up on this day was horrible. This was one of our earliest wake up calls yet. We all dragged ourselves onto the bus for our first company visit. We went to Hoerbiger, which is a company that produces valves that are made of automobiles and machines used in the medical field. When we arrived…

Today we had the opportunity to explore the capital of Bavaria: Munich. Everyone got uo early and took the took the train to arrive in Munich. Once we got there we had a guided tour which took us down so many different streets in this city. When comparing this city to a city in the…

Sadly today was our last company visit, but by far the best visit we have had! Today was Audi and this is the company that my group for the presentation was focused on. The group split up into two separate groups. I was in the group that went on the museum tour. The workers told…

Today we got to sleep in a little more than normal. Today was another company visit but this one was Grob. This company focused on making machines and are tier 1. They work with big car companies like Tesla, Ford and Porsche. The factory tour was very cool and seeing their huge machines and how…

After some much needed rest from our arrival in Augsburg we woke up on day 2 ready to see what Augsburg has to offer! We started out the morning with some hotel breakfast. They pretty much have the same things that we would find at a continental breakfast. Shortly after that the group made their…

Everyone attending Plus 3 Germany all met up in our old classroom where professor used to quiz us with facts about Augsburg the day before we took off on our flights. We had a nice dinner where we went over final details and all got a good nights rest for the travel that was about…

Hey guys! My name is Lauren McCay and I am currently a freshman Pitt Business student on track to major in marketing with a certificate in Leadership and Ethics. Eventually, I hope to work in a big city with a large media company. I am involved in a couple of clubs here such as AMA…
