I was really impressed with the American Junior Year (AJY) in Heidelberg program. AJY gave its students tons of opportunities for both academic and cultural immersion in Germany. The outstanding aspect of AJY was its treatment of our independence: my group was small, so we were able to get to know each other well within the program — but we were never coddled or separated from 'real' Germany.
