Sevilla: The best of Southern Spain Past Review

By (Biology/Spanish, Iowa State University) for

ISA Study Abroad in Sevilla, Spain

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
The onsite directors were very helpful and basically became like family. They really helped to make my experience more comfortable and less scary. Studying abroad has made me more "worldly" and helped me to understand another culture. I am now a double major in Spanish because studying abroad has made me realize that I love the Spanish culture and language and I hope to use the information I have gained in my job in the future.
