Granada: Where Freedom is Happiness Past Review
By anna g (philosophy & psychology, Carroll College) for
ISA Study Abroad in Granada, Spain
i loved studying abroad. the most annoying part about it was leaving and knowing i could not come back and have exactly the same experience. i felt very free in Granada and i loved feeling capable, more so than i already was. thanks!
