A note from rising junior Hillary Rosen, bound for an AFS semester (plus): “I just got all my information for Germany and I thought I would email you to keep you informed. I will be leaving on September 6th and returning on February 16th. I will be staying with the Wunderlich family in Esslingen, Germany. Esslingen is located in southern Germany jus outside of Stuttgart and about 140 miles southeast of Frankfurt.” To keep in touch with Hillary during the year, email hillroy@nc.rr.com.
