Barcelona, Spain

Spring 2025

WHAT'S ONE STORY OR IMPORTANT ASPECT YOU ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR TIME ABROAD?
I always tell people that the experience was truly life changing. I could feel that I was growing as a person by developing more cultural intelligence, learning how to navigate a new country on my own, and constantly pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I will always feel connected with Barcelona one way or another and I wouldn't trade my experience for anything.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My favorite class was my Global Communication class. Our professor gave us a lot of experiential learning opportunities for homework and always encouraged us to learn more about the culture. For example, one of our assignments was to go to a restaurant that serves a "Menu del dia" and order the most authentic food possible. Without her class, I wouldn't have felt as connected with the city and I learned a lot!
