“My studies for 3 years in Germany”
Miladin D
Spain, Undergraduate
Economics, 2019
OverallAfter finishing high-school, I studied for 3 years in University in Magdeburg, Germany. I used English as main language in my classes and studied German separately. I was alone at first, but I met a lot of new people from different countries and made many new friends.
I recommend anyone who has the opportunity to study abroad to take it! It is an unforgettable experience, and you could learn a lot.
