Study Abroad

This program marked the first time in my life that I had lived away from my family. Arriving to Buenos Aires, I'll never forget the fear I had at the thought of exploring a new city all on my own with friends I had yet to meet. Students from the program were paired up with homestay families, which was another experience I was very apprehensive about. 

I fell in love with the city, the people and the culture. I was shocked at how quickly I had gotten accustomed to it all— living in a walkable city without a car, having to try new food every day and speaking to people with an entirely different dialect of Spanish.

Besides the rich academic experience, I left that city knowing more about myself and my abilities than I knew before I arrived. I am so much more capable than I give myself credit for. I'll never forget this trip as it was one of the most special times of my life.
