Impressions of Heidelberg

by Kristine Garza, one of the students who came to visit in March, 2012

I visited Heidelberg, Germany with a class for Spring Break 2012 and it was the most beautiful, enlightening, and amazing experience I’ve ever had. The few days I spent in Heidelberg were too short to even begin to discover everything this beautiful city had to offer. I absolutely loved the accessibility of everything from walking down Haupstrasse to hopping on the tram to take a stroll on the Philsophenweg. The experience was so awesome especially meeting German natives and learning the differences in our cultures just by having a simple conversation. The food was delicious and exciting to experiment along with the different types of drinks. Overall it was an amazing experience and has squashed any previous fear I had of studying or visiting abroad. I am studying International Business and currently a senior MBA student so I may not be able to spend a semester abroad but if I had a chance I would definitely visit Germany again.
