Going to Germany for two weeks is an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. It is very difficult to sum up everything we did and experienced in Germany with one blog post, however, I will give a brief summary of some of the highlights. To start off, this trip allowed…

Free Day in Austria: Day 13
Today is our last day in Germany, which is sad to say. We have a free day today to do whatever we want to do! I, along with all of the other students, decided to take the train to Salzburg Austria for the day! Robby, Jacob, and I managed to get lederhosens from some of…
Regensburg/Walhalla: Day 12
Today we went to Regensburg, Germany. The bus ride was about two hours long. I was exhausted from the night before so the bus ride really felt like 10 minutes for me since I fell asleep. Once we got there, we were met by our tour guide who gave us a tour of the city….
Day 11: Presentation Day
Today we presented our final projects. I woke up this morning at 7 am to get some breakfast. Downstairs had the usual eggs sausage, and orange juice. I went over my slides for some prep before catching the tram around 8:20. We arrived on campus around 8:40 where went into the class and all chilled…
Day 10: Project Prep Day
Today we had the whole day to work on our projects. My group was doing a company analysis on the company Forvia. Our group split up the parts in the rubric, to make sure we hit every single target. In the morning our group met up to work on the project. We worked for about…
Day 9: Audi Day!
We splitted up into two of the following groups: a factory group and a museum group. Each group would both go to the factory and the museum. I went on the factory tour first. I was amazed by how big Audis production line was. It was super cool seeing how they could turn a simple…
Day 8: Dachau
Today we went to Dachau where we toured the concentration camp. This is the first ever concentration camp that I have ever been to in my life, and it was certainly a powerful experience. We got to the camp around 10 am where we met up with our tour guide who was fantastic. He made…
Day 7: Munich
Yesterday we spent our time in the city of Munich which is roughly around one hour by train from Augsburg. We left our hotel around 8:30 to start our journey to the city. We went to the train station where we walked through several crowds of people. I would say that the train was very…
Day 6: Landsberg
Today we went to the town called Landsberg. This was a beautiful and peaceful town right by the river. The weather was perfect, it wasn’t too cold or too warm. We walked around the town for hours which was busy but not crazy. We stopped at a little Italian cafe where I got a cappuccino….
Day 5: Castle
Today we went to the Neuschwanstein Castle. We left this morning around 7:30 to start our ventures to the castle. Once we arrived we had a 30 minute hike up to the castle. The hike was a lot of fun, but it was super hilly. Once we got towards the top of the hill we…
Day 4: Grob & Forvia
Today was a day filled with factory tours and lectures. We left early this morning at 8:00 am. I had my usual breakfast which consisted of orange juice, eggs, and some sort of sausage. Our first destination was Grob which took us roughly 45 minutes to get there. The first thing that I noticed when…
Day 3 in Germany
Today was a long, but exciting day in Germany. We left this morning around 7:30 am and got back around 7:20 pm. We had our first company visit at Hoerbiger today. I thought that the company was super interesting. Hoerbiger creates a multitude of different items but what we specifically learned today about their regulators…
Day 2 in Augsburg
Today was our second day in Augsburg, which was packed with a lot of fun. To start off the day we left the hotel around 8 am to go to the university. Once we got to the university we met up with the other German students, where we all split up into our groups. Once…
Day 1: Arrival in Augsburg
After a long travel day, we have finally landed in Augsburg! I am so excited to be here and see what the whole city has to offer. Once we arrived in Augsburg we were greeted by Nickohlas and Elizabeth. They graciously took us to get food where we ate sandwiches and pretzels. I had a…
