Hey all!

Thought I would tell you just a little about my study abroad program.  I am headed to Lüneburg, Germany! It is a wonderful medieval city that was not bombed during the war so still really has its historic character.

A half hour train ride will take you to the port of Hamburg, a big and busy place with a lot to offer.  It is a frequent
weekend destination for students. But there are other cities nearby as well, including Bremen and Hannover.

More about Lüneburg:

– Bridges outside the town were rigged with explosives to be blown in the event of a Soviet attack.

– The university is located in the former British cold war military base. The old brick buildings have ivy growing on them now and have a more academic feel.

Here is the link if you wish to know any more about the program itself!
