Study Abroad, Universidad Complutense de Madrid; Madrid, Spain
August - December, 2011
I studied in Madrid, Spain through DePaul University's Study Abroad Program during the Fall Quarter of 2011. In Spain, I took classes at a local university that focused on the Spanish language, Spain's history and culture, and Spanish literature. I lived with a host family in Madrid and discovered the reality of Spanish culture. I also had the opportunity to travel to Portugal, Italy, Switzerland and Turkey while in Europe. My experiences abroad have exposed me to global perspectives. I also had the opportunity to refine my Spanish language skills.
