For my final blog, I will be reflecting on this amazing trip. I initially felt two weeks was the perfect amount of time to be away from home in beautiful Germany, but now that I’ve been home for a couple weeks, I am ready to go back. As this program was my first ever experience…

Sadly, this was our last day of the Plus3 Germany program. For our last day, Professor Feick gave us a free day. As long as he approved what we wanted to do and where we went, we could do it. Some girls got tickets for the Harry Styles concert in Munich. One of the guys…

Today was a satisfying but also a sad day. After a long trip of continuous company visits (Hoerbiger, Grob, Forvia, Audi) and long nights of working on our company analysis projects, we finally presented our research to the group. We are now officially done with our program’s academic work and as celebration we had a…

Today was a very, very interesting day. Just like I was told before our trip, not everything goes to plan when traveling abroad. On today’s scheduled itinerary, we were supposed to visit King Ludwig II’s castle in the Alps, visit the nearby village of Füssen, and then visit this pilgrimage church. But, our schedule did…

Our final week in Germany has just begun and it’s starting to get a little sad as the days count down. But, today was a really good day for a Monday! We went to the city of Regensburg, a popular tourist city, and then took a quick trip to the Walhalla memorial. Our day was…

Hello bloggers. Today, we only had one event on our scheduled itinerary: a visit to the first ever concentration camp in the town of Dachau. I know it is a very sensitive topic to talk about so today’s blog is going to be less detailed on purpose. But, it is still an important part of…

Hey bloggers! Today we spent the whole day in Munich, and it was so much fun. It was nice to get outside of Augsburg and be able to explore another amazing city. It was so big and awesome, and I hope I can explain as much as possible. Our morning started with hotel breakfast, but…

Today left me speechless. For our last company visit we went to Audi, and their facility was breathtaking. I can only explain so much, so if you ever have the opportunity to do so, take a factory tour of Audi. Before heading to Audi, though, I tried German yogurt (strawberry flavored) for the first time…

What’s going on bloggers! We are five days into the trip now, and the days are sadly flying by. I wish I could live here forever, but one can only dream… We still have one more week, though, and have many fun things still left to do! Today we visited the company Faurecia and then…

I love Germany. It is so fun being here with my business friends and engaging with engineering students, who are now my new friends. There is never a dull moment. Today, we toured Grob’s facilities and had the afternoon to ourselves, which we spent shopping in Augsburg. This morning started off again with hotel breakfast….

Once again, another amazing day in Germany! Today was our first day exploring outside the city of Augsburg, and it was really fun. We started the day with another amazing breakfast. This morning, they offered scrambled eggs and bacon, and the scrambled eggs were the best scrambled eggs I have ever had. They were so…

Welcome to Day 2! After the very long day yesterday, today was also very long. I was definitely feeling the jet lag earlier in the day, but as the day went on, I started to feel like my normal self. We started off the day with a hotel breakfast and let me tell you, that…

Hello fellow bloggers! Today is my first of many daily blogs here in Augsburg, Germany! It has been the longest. Day. Ever. We left Pitt for the Pittsburgh airport Saturday at 9am, and after multiple plane and bus rides, we arrived in Augsburg Sunday at 7am. After doing the calculations and taking into account the…

Hello fellow bloggers! My name is Nicholas Monetti and I am a Freshman here at the University of Pittsburgh. I am from Buffalo, New York, so I love chicken wings and the Buffalo Bills! I am a huge sports fan, always playing or watching basketball, baseball, and football with my friends in my free time….
