I'm halfway through my study abroad, and I cannot recommend it enough. If there is a time to travel, it is during college. Since arriving in Spain, I have been to eight different cities, learned more Spanish than I thought, and gained a well-rounded perspective on culture in Spain and the U.S. I have met new people from the UO and various countries within Europe. I have explored cathedrals much older than the U.S. – and I still have another month before I return to the UO!
