Barcelona Spring 2012, Liberal Arts & Social Sciences
My study abroad experience is flooded with hilarious, exciting and adventurous memories of exploring the city and traveling all around Europe. I have to say that one of my favorite memories was spending the last night on the beach reminiscing about the past four months with all of the new friends I had made throughout the semester. It was definitely a bittersweet memory that will never be forgotten.

Barcelona 2012, International Business
I chose to study abroad in Barcelona because I am currently studying International Business and Economics at the University of Pittsburgh and wanted to go to a destination where I could gain valuable knowledge in these subjects while improving my Spanish language skills.

My most memorable moment abroad was when I traveled to the Cliffs of Moher on the west coast of Ireland because it was so beautiful and because it was also St. Patrick's Day in Dublin!

Prague Spring 2012
My best memory had to be when I went to Munich for Springfest and actually bought authentic lederhosen for the festival's events. They may have cost almost 200 Euros but they provided me with countless memories.
