By abigail h (Psychology, Simmons College) for
Universidad de Pompeu Fabra (UPF): Barcelona - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
i really enjoyed my experience, but i wish i would've have gone somewhere where the spoke less english. i wanted to have some more culture shock when arriving, but i really didnt experience any when arriving.
