Testimonials
Effectively communicating with a group of people with different backgrounds and developing projects with them was a useful learning experience. My portfolio with projects I did while studying impressed my boss at the interview. My insights and experiences with German bureaucracy were also helpful. If you are eager to learn and know why, to what end, you are working so hard, then you will end up learning a lot. It’s the same reason why somebody not interested in a degree or course will not make any progress. I feel the most important thing to learn is when to recognize the opportunity. If something doesn’t work out at first, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will not get to where you want to end up. I have learned to be as flexible as possible thanks to the places I’ve lived and my failures and wins, which I learned through HSRW and living in Germany overall. The path worth traveling is often bumpy. Graduation day was one of the happiest moments on my path abroad.”
