Testimonials
Siempre he querido hacer un intercambio, por lo que el ver la oferta en la página de la universidad me pareció una buena opción. El poder estudiar en otro país sin dejar de lado mis estudios en Colombia, definitivamente quiero ir en algún momento y poder vivir la experiencia en persona. Porque con los game nights y los quiz nights conocí a personas de diferentes lugares y me contaron lo hermoso que es Gießen y la universidad, todo el año pero más en Navidad. Los mercados navideños y además hablaron y mostraron otras ciudades cercanas con estatuas, arquitectura e historia muy interesante.
I joined the VIP program in its very first semester as an undergraduate, and it has been one of the most transformative experiences of my academic journey. Each semester, the program grew bigger and better, pushing me to expand my scope, challenge my thinking, and refine my skills. Through VIP, I had the opportunity to engage with brilliant professors and like-minded peers.
Beyond academics, VIP pushed me to step outside my comfort zone, explore new fields, and learn German—all without ever leaving my home country.
Lots of thanks to JLU for letting me feel your atmosphere of understanding, tolerance and activism. I am grateful not only for courses I have attended but also for different invitations to open lectures on law. It was a pleasure to work and study with you.
I'm very grateful to be a virtual student because I get to make more friends and learn things I'm interested in.
I always thought of it as a great chance to broaden my horizons. I believe this experience indeed opens up new opportunities to access new knowledge.
Because of the corona, I canceled my Erasmus in Germany. After learning about the VIP, I got the chance to be a student in Germany again thanks to JLU.
Being a VIP student was an amazing journey. I feel that I am a part of the JLU family.
JLU gave me the opportunity to study International Humanitarian Law. These classes helped me understand the basics and made me realise that I want more!
JLU did a magnificent job! Going abroad to study has always been my dream but I never imagined to “study abroad” from the comfort of my own home.
From the very start the International Office and the professors of the courses were there for us. With friends from all over the world we moved through the semester, shared our ups, downs, stress and joy.
