“My time abroad taught me that I can do anything. Between international and cross-continental travel, navigating new cities in a foreign language, and immersing myself in a dynamic experience, I learned I am able to adapt to anything. Studying abroad gave me so much self-confidence, and I also gained unforgettable friends, both in Spain and from the U.S.”
