Berlin

Berlin is really cool, one of the coolest cities in Germany. It has a multicutural atmosphere,  and it is a safe and very green city with lots of parks, rivers, lakes.  We cooperate with fantastic schools in Berlin. Many of them offer additional  clubs for arts, scientific and sports activities.  And exchange students in Berlin have a special advantage: Our German language school is located in Berlin, so exchange students  can book extra German lessons if needed, and they can also join weekend trips we organize for learners of German.

Bremen

Bremen has a cool Hanseatic flair and is the second biggest city in the north of Germany (after Hamburg). Bremen is only 60 km away from the North Sea, an open and liberal port city with 10 universities, 4 state and 6 private ones.

Dresden

Why we like Dresden: big terrace along River Elbe and the daily events in the summer months there, the old town of Dresden with many historical buildings like the “Frauenkirche”, “Semperoper”, “Zwinger” and of course the lively Neustadt quarter with many cafés, bars and restaurants

Hamburg

Hamburg is an elegant and sophisticated city,  richer than Berlin, the capital. If you want to live by the sea and experience the multicultural diversity of a wealthy port city, then Hamburg is the perfect spot for you.

Koblenz

Minden

Minden is a small city on River Weser, located near Hannover. Minden has a charming center with many historical buildings  This city is the perfect choice if you want to experience everyday life in small-town-Germany.

Nürnberg

Nuremberg is city in Bavaria, with 12 universities, colleges and art schools.  It is a big city, but with a very relaxed atmosphere. The people are friendly, and you'll find a very rich cultural life here.
