Top Experiences of My Life

Studying abroad in Chile was an incredible experience for so many reasons. The city is expansive, with plenty of things to see and do. However, I would say visiting the north and south is a must-do because you will see things unlike anywhere else in the world, especially the US, in my opinion. The nature is phenomenal and a good chance to break away from city life, which will be most of what you'll experience since the campus is in the middle of the city. I recommend going into the experience expecting it to be challenging because, obviously, if you don't speak Spanish, there are going to be moments of frustration. My one regret is not meeting enough Chileans because it's just a good opportunity to learn about the culture but also to practice your Spanish. Also, I believe the people really make the experience so much better. Whether that's the other people in your study abroad group or Chileans you befriend on the way, getting to experience the country with others made the experience incredible. There's so much more I can say, but overall expect to be pushed out of your comfort zone, because honestly, that's when you have the best experiences.
