'The 20th of December 2012 is the 200th anniversary of the publishing of the first volume of the Brothers Grimm's "Children's and Household Tales". Their famous collection of folk and fairy tales has been translated into 160 languages and is on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register for the preservation of cultural documents. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm aren't known only for their 86 fairy tale classics such as "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Snow White", but also as linguists. As students in Marburg, they were enthusiastic scholars of German philology, researching dialects and grammar.'
I looked into exchanging to the University of Marburg!! But along with all the other European universities, it didn't make much sense to be studying for an English major there. So extremely excited to be at the University of California, Santa Barbara soon!
