Abstract	This report is based on three separate evaluative surveys. The first compares students' attitudes and opinions before and after the junior year abroad in several areas: (1) attitude toward Germany; (2) integration patterns; (3) religion; (4) politics; (5) the use of tobacco and alcohol, and sexual morality; (6) culture; (7) comparison of university systems and students; and (8) fraternities. Another more subjective program evaluation poll includes: (1) program effects on the individual, (2) organizational aspects of the Marburg program, (3) travel and its impact, (4) health and diet, and (5) academic aspects of the program. An extensive follow-up survey examines the problem of readjustment to the American culture. [Not available in hard copy due to marginal legibility of original document.] (RL)
