Study Abroad Experience

Program Name: USAC: Spain: Valencia- Spanish Culture, Language, Literature, and STEM Disciplines
- Class: Differential Equations
- Country: Valencia, Spain, June 2024

ATPKFEA2024 — In June of 2024, I had the opportunity to accomplish a lifelong dream, studying abroad. I went to Valencia, Spain, where I took differential equations. During this time, I lived in the heart of Valencia, where I was 10-15 minutes from the beach, the university, and the city center. I got to experience a rich culture every day, immerse myself in a new language, celebrate a local holiday, and travel to different parts of Spain. I was able to prove to myself that I can do hard things, and am continuing to put myself in unfamiliar situations as a result of this experience. I would not have been able to study abroad without the continuous support of everyone in PKFEA. I do not go a day without thinking about all the amazing memories I made during my time there, and I could not recommend studying abroad more.
