The packing list was what I found the most helpful. This was my first time traveling internationally and for an extended period of time, so I referenced the packing list quire frequently.

I believe that most of the orientation material were useful. I think it would beneficial to provide more team building/introductory time for the students going on the trip during orientation time.

All the locations that we visited felt very safe and I never worried about my safety during this trip. Also thought all the activities and locations that we visited were well selected and enjoyed them very much.

Dr. Rettl was an amazing professor. He was very engaging with students and provided challenging but manageable assignments throughout the program.
Maymester 2022 Participant
Professor Rettl was one of the best professors I've ever had at UGA. The course load was perfect and we were able to balance creating new experiences outside of the classroom.

kari and jen deserve a raise...give them one.
Summer 2023 Participant
Dr. Osbon did a great job addressing academic needs and being available for questions. Kari was fantastic and made me feel so comfortable on this trip. She was ready to help whenever called upon and was always checking up and making sure everyone was okay.

Best staff I could've gotten.

Kari was always on top of making sure everyone was comfortable and doing well. Professor Osbon was also great as far as connecting with students and making sure we were learning in the classroom.

Overall I loved this program
Summer 2023 Participant
The staff made the trip even better than it would've been.
Summer 2023 Participant
Overall, I had a great experience and would do it again in a heartbeat. I think we had enough free time to explore the city while also having enough structure to get in a routine. One thing I would comment on is that our schedule in Vienna was very front-loaded. I think it would be better to space out the company visits a little bit.

Make sure you know this is a STUDY abroad. You will have so much fun, but there will be work to do.
Maymester 2019 Participant
Take advantage of every opportunity this program gives! Try to be fully involved and actively participating because every activity is a unique and fun learning experience.

It was SUPER helpful having a Professor who had lived in Germany for many years. So always assign a professor who has studied or has lived in Germany to this trip. I truly can't image not having a professor who didn't speak German. He helped every student so much was translations especially with students who had food allergies which was super important.
Maymester 2017 Participant
Anyone and everyone should take the opportunity to go abroad if they can... it was the experience of a lifetime. It's the best way to really get to know a place and its culture.
Maymester 2017 Participant
Terry in Europe was one of the best experiences of my college career. I learned so much about culture, international business, and myself!

If you want to do a Maymester abroad and make the most out of 3 1/2 weeks, this is the best program for you!
Maymester 2018 Participant
The knowledge I've gained from this trip is invaluable! Taking classes on different cultures and countries doesn't compare to experiencing those cultures first-hand and interacting with locals face-to-face. This study abroad has been the highlight of my time at UGA!

This trip exceeded all of my hopes and expectations! It was one of the best experiences of my life, and I'm so glad I went on this study abroad!
Maymester 2019 Participant
What an amazing trip! I had the best time experiencing each of the incredible cities we went to, and the companies we toured and experiences we had in the classroom gave me great insight into the important aspects of European business. Our group bonded so well from the very beginning - I would do it all over again if I could!
Maymester 2019 Participant
The places we visited on this trip were incredibly beautiful and filled with rich history and unique qualities. Simply being in these wonderful locations taught me a lot about culture and appreciating differences between people. The opportunity to visit companies, take classes, and have free time to explore in Central Europe was an experience unlike any other and I will truly never forget it!
Maymester 2019 Participant
This trip will be the best thing you do in college. I learned so much and grew as a student all while being in some of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Maymester 2019 Participant
This program was so worth it! I made many new friends with similar interests as me! I highly recommend this trip for the marketing and business tactics abroad!

Everybody expects to grow in an academic sense considering we were taking two classes during our time there. I cannot stress how much the personal growth on these trips is overlooked. I learned things outside of the classroom that I will use on a regular basis for the rest of my life.
Maymester 2022 Participant
The most impactful month of my college career. I would do this trip a billion times over if I could.

"This program was a really great opportunity to make friends with students not only from our school but from a university abroad."
Maymester 2022 Participant
Terry Business in Europe was a life changing experience. I was able to meet new people not only from UGA but from other countries and made life-long friends in the process.
Maymester 2022 Participant
My best advice: be open-minded, try everything, and don't forget scissors. You will need them.
Maymester 2022 Participant
There's a reason why so many people regret not doing study abroad in college. There are several options if you can't sacrifice an entire year or semester or even summer. As long as somewhere within your academic career you can give up at least 3 weeks, there's a program for you!
Maymester 2022 Participant
Great opportunity to visit unique places and meet new people.
