As part of the GISEB (Globally Integrated Semester on Entrepreneurship in Bremen) program, we recently had the pleasure of welcoming some great visitors to Bremen! Check out these wonderful photos, taken by participant Sierra Stevens! Stay tuned for more photo and video content!\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This is what Sierra had to say about her 2-week stay in Bremen:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"“I was initially very nervous about traveling to Germany. Not only had I never traveled out of the country, but I also didn\u2019t know any German. Sophie\u2019s expertise (an exchange student from Bremen University) calmed my nerves a bit, but I was still anxious about the trip.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
However, the minute I landed in Bremen and boarded the tram, I knew it was going to be an incredible trip. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, kind, and understanding about our lack of knowledge concerning the German culture and language.\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The food, despite its surprisingly low cost, was incredible. I am a very picky eater, but I didn\u2019t have a single meal that I disliked. Even the cafeteria food at the University of Bremen was delicious. The Dickinson-in-Bremen program treated us to a number of meals at luxurious restaurants and cafes, assisting us through our interactions and ensuring we acted in a \"\"respectful manner.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The program assistant and academic director of the Dickinson program in Bremen were especially helpful. Leandra handled our large, occasionally rowdy, always tardy, group with ease. She treated us as friends and offered earnest recommendations daily. I am thankful for her friendliness and diligence. Dr. Ludwig was equally as supportive, giving us informative lectures on German entrepreneurial history, the country\u2019s opinions on America\u2019s contemporary issues, and instructing us on how to behave in a \u201cGerman\u201d way. She was always enthusiastic in answering our many questions and was clearly passionate about her job. She truly wanted our group to have a wonderful experience (and that we did).<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Our itinerary was packed with business visits and informational sessions, with plenty of free time mixed in. Some of the highlights included a tour of Mercedes Benz, a visit to Beck\u2019s Brewery, meeting with members of the Bremen Senate, the Emigration Museum in Bremerhaven, exploring the restaurants and gift shops in the Schnoor and the Schlachte, as well as our trip to Berlin.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
There is plenty more I could say about the experience, but I will end it with this. I had an extraordinary time in Germany and I will definitely be back. This trip is one that I will remember forever.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
