WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My favorite class abroad was Architecture and Painting in Barcelona, because it was an amazing way to learn about the city I was living in! We got to go on field trips and see these amazing buildings and architecture. And then when I was walking around the city I could see in real life what we had learned in class.
HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
I explored the neighborhood I lived in and immersed myself in the area as much as I could. For example, there was a little coffee shop right by the metro stop my roommates and I would take to get to school everyday, and we became friends with the girl who worked there. Every morning she would say hi to us and talk to us in Spanish so we could practice, and when we left we got her a present as a thank you!
