Hessen International Summer School<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My name is Tantika Na Nakhon and I\u2019ve just completed an international summer program at the Universit\u00e4t Kassel (University of Kassel) in Kassel, Germany. It was four-week program and I was studying in the engineering module. I chose environmental engineering and renewable energies and risk management in environmental engineering. The seminars were intensive and lots of excursion. As part of risk management, my class visited Volkswagen, B. Braun Melsungen and Wintershall and we found the risks from the real situations. I would highly recommend enrolling in both courses. Moreover, German class was useful for daily life. There are many activities that you can join such as hiking, movie night, games night and German folk dance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life in Germany and Highlights of short term program<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Living in Germany was easy. In this program everyone had to stay with host family and it was good to learn their culture and lifestyles. German people were cold at first meeting, but when you get closer to them are friendly and kind. Kassel is located in central Germany. Thus, it would be beneficial to travel to other countries. My favourite trip outside of Germany was to Netherlands with my host family, and within Germany we took a 4 hour drive throughout the country which <\/span>was also fantastic. The University organised a free trip to Fritzler. It took 35 minutes from Kassel. Fritzler is a small town in the\u00a0Schwalm-Eder\u00a0district in northern\u00a0Hesse. The town has a\u00a0medieval\u00a0centre surrounded by a wall with numerous watch towers.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Overall, I had an awesome experience and I wish I had the chance to do it again. It was good opportunity to explore other countries and I\u2019d encourage every student to consider this program.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
