“Vanderbilt in Berlin was the perfect choice to spend my summer.

I’ll never forget the first week with Peggy touring the city.
The stay was not long enough and “Ich lernte ein bißchen Deutsch!”

“Berlin is a wonderful city with so much to do.
The six weekends were not nearly enough time to experience it all.”

“In Berlin I met my one life’s love... Döner Kebop.”

Patrick Fischer:

“Being in Berlin with Peggy is like being in the Garden with Eve
and getting a first chance to experience life.”

“This experience has been one of the best I have had at Vanderbilt.

The combination of our group, this fabulous city,
and Peggy as our guide has been absolutely amazing.
These past seven weeks have been unforgettable and I have certainly fallen in love with Berlin.
I couldn’t have asked for a better trip!!!"

P.S. "Bring your turtle closer.”

“Peggy is my second mom...
Definitely a world-cup-tastic way to spend the summer!”

“The best part about Vanderbilt in Berlin was that I really felt like I lived there, not just like a visitor.
Studying abroad is definitely an experience that everyone should have.”

 

“Such an amazing city with wonderful people to spend my last summer
before graduating and getting a real job!”

Matthew Cowan:

“Berlin is such a cultural Mecca.
If you’re open-minded and looking for adventure, then this is the place for you.”

“If you’re even just thinking about going to Berlin, do it!
You will learn so much German and meet plenty of interesting and fun people.
It’s a great way to spend the summer.”

Lisa Hayes:

“This trip made me fall in love with Vanderbilt.”

Jennifer Janes:

“I had the best summer ever with Peggy and the best people I ever could have asked for to be with for seven weeks here.
I’ve never learned so much, yet had so much fun – I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

“There couldn’t have been a greater group of people or a better time to experience the culture, history, and people of Berlin with.
I was also given an amazing opportunity to see the world cup quarter final game. Stimmt!”

Michael Cannamela (Vanderbilt in Berlin 2004):
 

“I haven’t been in this program for three years, but somehow I’m still here.”

Matt Lockaby (Vanderbilt in Berlin 2005):
 

“I must have gotten really lost last year because I’ve been wandering around Berlin all this time waiting for Peggy to get back!”

Who will ever forget that 2006 was WM-Sommer?

Remember him?

And first place goes to ...
