One of the best experiences that I had is to participate in the study-abroad program! I studied Hispanic Studies in Spain and immersed myself fully into the Spanish culture and language environment. The courses were challenging but very effective in pushing my limits! I could not have believed how much I had progressed along this journey.

This experience is also full of fun activities. I was exposed to Spanish movies, festivals, food, history, culture and religion. I also got to stay with my Spanish host family who fully supported me. In the end, do not hesitate if you are interested! You would not regret it!
