Maria Castiblanco, Alumni Ambassador

1. Why should a student go abroad?
My favorite thing I enjoyed the most when I was abroad in Barcelona was the different culture I was introduced to. This past semester was the first time I have ever been to Europe, so I really loved that I got the chance to expand my knowledge on the different culture in Barcelona from my own culture. It was very important to me that I picked a country where I was able to expand my knowledge on culture and Barcelona was the place for that. I learned to come out of my comfort zone and experience a new life.

2. Why would you like to be an Alumni Ambassador?
While I was abroad I enjoyed every moment of it! I got the opportunity to learn more about the culture, city, environment, and most importantly myself. Being an Alumni is important for those who plan to study abroad during the college career, and I believe I would be the best fit for this position because of my overall experience. I would love to promote studying abroad with this incredible program because I strongly believe that CEA can be promote to spread awareness to students wanting to study abroad.
