Student Voices...

...it amazes me that I want to go back just as much as I did the first time I visited.  It is a unique and compelling place; I wonder what it will be like in the future. --H.S.


...It [Berlin] just feels like a different part of me, like a home I haven't visited for many years....It speaks of hardship, pain and suffering, but also achievement, experience, perseverance and life.  It speaks of scars, little reminders of the past left behind, reminders that have the future to us. --S.

...This city [Berlin] has been torn apart and leveled, but the scars allow us to feel how ragged the breathing is, how pained the healing wounds still are.  This is how we know how much it lives. --S.

...Berlin has a weird atmosphere, it's almost electric. --A.N.
