Stories from Abroad
-------------------

Hear what recent study abroad students are saying about their journeys overseas.

The program allowed me to immerse myself in the culture, people, and endless activities that Málaga, and Spain, had to offer. Every day brought new discoveries and adventures, shaping an experience that I will cherish for a lifetime.

Emma K.

University of Pittsburgh

At first, I was terrified of leaving behind my life in the U.S. But as soon as I arrived, I knew I had made the right choice. Over the course of my stay there, my Spanish language skills improved tremendously. I never thought I would become fluent, but after being surrounded by the language every day, I started to think and even dream in Spanish.
