Program: UNC in Sevilla
Location: Sevilla, Spain

Why did you choose to study abroad and how did you select your program?
I chose the UNC in Sevilla program because it sounded like a great opportunity to increase my Spanish knowledge with students and professors from my own university.

 

What did you learn about yourself?
I learned that my mind and body is so much stronger than I thought. I was able to adapt to a whole new world, culture, lifestyle and language in just the 5 months I was there.

 

What is one of your favorite memories from your program?
Experiencing Feria which is a week long celebrating of dancing and eating alongside extravagant outfits and carnival-like games.

 

What advice do you have for future study abroad students?
Many students are worried about making friends while joining a program, and I just want to say that YOU WILL! I was so scared about this and I made some of the greatest friends inside and out of my program while I was in Spain.

 

How do you identify?
LGBTQ+
