I had an amazing experience studying abroad, and would recommend it to anyone! It was amazing to practice my Spanish in Oviedo, especially with my host family and in my classes. I loved exploring Oviedo and traveling around Spain with the other students on my program, exploring new cities and meeting new people. Studying abroad is a great way to improve your language skills, but it's also a great way to get out of your shell and try new things. Before participating in the Spanish Immersion Program in Oviedo, I went to England through the London in a Global Context program. Getting the opportunity to experience two different cultures and navigate different settings made me so much more confident in international travel, and makes me excited to pursue more opportunities in the future! There are so many opportunities for students to pursue study abroad at UO, as well as lots of funding and scholarship options. Although studying abroad can be intimidating, there are resources out there which make it accessible. My experiences abroad were truly life changing, and I want every student to feel they can participate in these programs.
