Leo Biehl is a junior in the College studying Political Science and Urban Studies. In the upcoming spring semester, he will be traveling to his birthplace, Berlin, Germany to study at the Freie Universität Berlin. Having left the city at age three, he is excited to reconnect with the city and his German family. Currently, he is a member of the Penn Mock Trial team, a tutor at the Marks Family Writing Center, and a writer for 34th Street Magazine. In his free time, he enjoys hiking, surfing, and hammocking in a tree with a good book.  

During his upcoming semester, he is particularly looking forward to… 

  • Exploring Berlin using one of the world’s best public transit systems (an urban studies major’s dream!) 

  • Sampling Berlin’s incredible food scene 

  • Attending a soccer game for the Euro 2024 tournament, which is being held in Germany 

  • Advocating for housing equality with Berlin’s social justice movements 

  • Improving his German language skills
