Study Abroad: Madrid, Spain

Do you have a favorite class that you are taking? Why?
Sports Management & Industry. 

What do you like about your program/university?
I love that there are so many immersion activities that help me get connected with Spanish students and the culture. The classes are super fun and interesting which makes learning in a different country fun rather than scary!

What has been your favorite place that you visited so far or favorite part about your city? Why?
My favorite place that I’ve visited so far was Morocco because it was so beautiful, the food was delicious, and the experiences were incredible. My favorite part about my city is the atmosphere- everyone is always outside spending time with one another and there is really a sense of community and appreciation for life here.

What advice would you give to the Leavey students planning to study abroad next year?
Make sure to stay organized and manage your time wisely!! It’s easy to get lost in all the details of the application process but if you manage your time effectively and stay organized, applying for study abroad will be much easier and smoother for you!
