About my adventure
Who
The program that I chose to study abroad with is a national non-profit study abroad organization called CIEE that works closely with colleges from around the country. CIEE is the world leader in international education exchange, and was established over 65 years ago!

What
I chose to study in an international business and culture program. My main goals were to advance my Spanish language skills while still continuing to work towards my business degree.
I spent a total of four and a half months in Spain.
Where
My program was in Sevilla, a large city in Southern Spain. I spent the majority of my time here, but did not miss out on the opportunity to travel all over Spain, and even Portugal and Morocco too!

Why
Choosing to study abroad was the best choice I have made since attending the University of Oregon. The people I met, the places I saw, and the things I learned have shaped the way I see the world. Not only would I do it again in a heartbeat, but I would recommend it to anyone I know too!
