I had struggled to learn Spanish my whole life, even though I started learning in Kindergarten. I just could never get the hang of it. Living in the city of Córdoba, Argentina completely changed this. I saw astronomical improvement in my language skills and my appreciation for Latin American culture. This program gave me the opportunity to live with a wonderful, adoring host mom who w...

My professors at UPF were all terribly impressive and understanding. Overall, I thought the workload was suitable for my class standing and I found the course content to be engaging. However, one class was far more elementary than I would have liked. Adriana, the director was very friendly and adamant about ensuring we had the best experience possible. After she took her maternity leave we worked with the Interim Director, Laura, she was amazing. I found her very easy to talk to and she was k...

I decided in middle school that I would become fluent in Spanish and go abroad to Spain. Living abroad lets you study the language in a way not possible in America, and I wanted full immersion.

When I was in high school I decided that I wanted to experience what the rest of the world has to offer. In order to fulfill this desire, I knew that I would need to study abroad. I loved learning the Spanish language and knew that studying abroad was the way to go.

I always planned to travel to Europe, not caring whether I studied abroad then or vacationed there sometime in the future. As I came to find out, studying abroad is much different than vacationing. Living with a host family, attending a Spanish university, and experiencing daily life as the Spanish do is unlike the tourist experience, where you are on the outside looking in.
