HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
I engaged with the local community when I studied abroad in various ways. I attended many festivals and events going on throughout the city. This was a very fun way to meet local people and to be immersed more in the culture. I also struck up conversation with many different people while waiting in line places or going out to eat. I really enjoyed interacting with the local community in Barcelona.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My favorite class that I took while studying abroad was Spanish Civilization and Culture. I didn't really enjoy learning about history until I went abroad. Taking this course was really cool as everything I learned I saw first hand while walking down the street or looking at a historical monument. Ultimately, it was very interesting learning about the city and country I studied in.
