Biography
How did studying abroad affect your academic and/or professional career?
Studying abroad has allowed me to have a more holistic experience in my education. The experience of the culture of Madrid, the style of teaching and learning that exists there, and the language practice both in and outside of the classroom gave me a well-rounded understanding for my Spanish minor.
How did you explore your hobbies, interests, and passions abroad?
I was able to create a schedule that optimized both my education and my ability to travel during my time not in the classroom. By having classes only three days a week, I was able to optimize my ability to experience new places, new cultures and travel a lot which was my biggest interest in studying abroad.
Why would you recommend your respective abroad program or location?
I would not highly recommend my program as I think there may be other options but I would recommend my location.
What should students consider when applying and preparing for their time abroad?
The program, their goals, how it will affect their major and minors, the location.
Did your identity impact your study abroad experience?
I have studied abroad in middle school, high school, and college and each time it has impacted me well.
Share a story about a time you experienced cultural immersion.
Coming from Tulane, a public university in Madrid is very different. There was a lot of interesting things that happened in school.
