I am doing the ETA program in Germany next year, and I recently got a letter from Fulbright that said something about keeping travel to a minimum and having to get approval for trips, even within the country. What's the deal with that? Does it apply to every country? I was really hoping to use the opportunity to see at the very least the rest of Germany....

Thanks for all of the helpful information! My preferences were (1) Berlin (2) Hamburg (3) Baden-Württemberg. So maybe, if get accepted, they will just throw me somewhere random . I take it very few people get Berlin or Hamburg then?
Thanks Torrid! I have a few more questions, if you don't mind. Was Hesse one of the places you listed as a preference? Did a lot of people seem to get their first or second choices? Also, did you have any say in whether you would be teaching primary or secondary school students?
Does anybody applying for Germany ETA (or who's done it in the past) know if they tell you where you are placed upon acceptance? If so, do they just tell you the Bundesland, or the school, too? If not, how long do you wait?
Thanks!
