Senior Kat Hurlbutt reflects on her experiences as a transfer student immersed in the German program. She appreciates GSD’s emphasis on developing cross-cultural understanding alongside language skills, and plans to move to Germany after she graduates.
Abby began studying the German language because she found it beautiful and had always wanted a way to better connect with her grandparents and their heritage.
Nick Ott is one the busiest and most passionate language students in Folwell Hall. He is currently studying German and Spanish while pursuing a marketing degree from the Carlson School of Management and a minor in education. Nick balances his liberal arts education with his other studies. “I like the wide variety of things to choose from. For example, I can take linguistics and other elective classes for my own interest even if it’s not necessarily in my major.”
