WHAT'S ONE STORY OR IMPORTANT ASPECT YOU ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR TIME ABROAD?
I always make sure to tell people that the very same worries they have about study abroad we all experienced! I remember talking to the students I went abroad with and realizing that they were also nervous about traveling, being away from home, speaking another language, and experiencing a different culture. It is normal to be hesitant to step out of your comfort zone, but taking that step led me to take one of the most extraordinary opportunities of my life!
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My favorite class focused on the rich history and culture of Spain. It was amazing to not have to see pictures in a textbook but be able to visit the very monuments and interact with the culture we were studying. I loved being able to complete assignments and projects by walking around the city I was studying in!
