Jane Greis

AIFS Program: Salzburg, Austria

Grüß Gott! My name is Jane Greis and I’m a senior at Towson University in Maryland, majoring in Anthropology and International Studies with a minor in German. I had the amazing opportunity through AIFS to study at the Universität Salzburg in Austria during the Fall 2017 semester and could not have chosen a better city to spend my semester abroad. Not only did I learn so much about Salzburg and the surrounding areas of Europe, but I gained insight into and confidence in who I am as an individual and where I see my future taking me. While abroad, I had the opportunity to practice my German everyday and immerse myself in the Austrian culture throughout the city. Exploring the city of Salzburg is truly like walking through a fairytale and living in that fairytale for four months is an experience I will never forget. Through being an AIFS Ambassador, I’m excited to share my insights into and love for the study abroad experience! “Reisen ist die Sehnsucht nach dem Leben. / Travel is the longing for life.” - Kurt Tucholsky
