There are a hundred reasons why you might find yourself in Berlin, and a great number of different ways to experience the city. Inspired by Christopher Isherwood's own Berlin Stories, this section profiles the experiences of people associated with Harvard CES Berlin. Keep your eye on this page, as we will add new interviews regularly. Especially useful for undergraduates and graduate students preparing to do research and live in the city, you will find information about the best libraries and research centers, the coolest places to hang out, where to go for the right dose of culture, and how to ease those initial adjustment blues.
