I spent my college junior year in Germany and it was a blast. Though I can't say it did much for me academically. We even had a beer vending machine in our dorm. DM .30 for a can of decent beer. I didn't even have to get grades or do the work, since their grades didn't translate into our system. I just had to prove I was registered for classes and then, when I got home, my GPA from the previous year carried over and they gave me 30 more credits. What a deal. I worked for Bayer in Germany the summer before and during some of the vacations and made a lot of money, hitchiked through Poland and Ukraine and basically turned 21 a year early by being there right after my 20th b-day. I still keep in touch with several of my friends from that year.
