Granada, Spain- a beautiful city that sometimes presented real challenges for me. Past Review
By Caitlin N (Spanish & Transnational Studies, Westminster College, MO) for
ISA Study Abroad in Granada, Spain
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
It was definitely worthwhile. It taught me a lot about the Spanish culture, language, and myself in such a foreign environment. I got to see so many beautiful places and experience amazing opportunities. Even though I was homesick so of the time I was there, I now would love to go back!
