A Fantastic Experience

Apr 4, 2015

I went for a summer session and I stayed at an apartment with 4 other girls. We lived right by the city center, and conveniently only 5 or 10 minutes walking from my university. ISA provided us with excursions every weekend, which were always a lot of fun. In fact, I consider them to be my favorite part of the trip. The program directors were more than helpful with everything that we needed, being on call at all hours of the day. Not only do you get to visit new sites and make new friends when studying abroad, but you also learn a lot about yourself and how independent you can be. I would recommend this trip to anyone. The #1 thing people tell me when I mention that I've studied abroad is that it was the one thing that they regret not doing during their college experience.

Best experience of my life

Nov 20, 2011

Overall my program was the best experience I could ever ask for. My housemom would make me some great food every day and was very understanding if I didn't like something or if I couldn't come in for a meal or needed something specific made. She oved to talk and that helped a lot with practicing Spanish. The staff was extremely helpful with anything I needed. Manuel, one of the directors, even helped me plan a Spring Break trip through northern Spain because he was from there and told us exactly where we should go, where we should eat, and what roads to drive on to get to places. Valencia had an amazing beach super close to our classes, only a 20-30 minute bike ride away! Our classes weren't extremely difficult and most of them encouraged us to go out and explore the city. The bars, clubs, and restaurants were very cheap and so much fun! I loved the people of the city they were always nice and outgoing and loved to party. I honestly can't think of anything wrong with this program it was by far the best decision I have ever made in my life! I made some of the best friends I could ask for that I have visited since I've come back home and I know I will continue to see for a long time. Definitely come to Valencia!!

Questions & Answers

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Nikki Schroeder

Program
Study + Intern Abroad in Valencia, Spain
Nikki was born and raised in Wenatchee, Washington and is currently studying Management at Eastern Washington University. To complement her Management major, Nikki is also pursing minors in Economics, International Business, and Communications. She has a knack for taking on too much at once, but when she does have free time, you can find her hiking through the mountains or crafting for her friends and family.

What do you tell your friends who are thinking about going abroad?

Headshot

Nikki: A lot of my friends approach me saying they are interested in studying abroad and the first thing I say is do it! I tell them that my summer abroad was the best summer of my life and I would not change anything about it. All of the experiences I had, both good and bad, were 100% worth it.

What's your favorite story to tell about your time abroad?

Nikki: A group of us decided to go up to Pamplona for the running of the bulls. And I ran with the bulls. My favorite story to tell about it though is when I came back and told my host mom about it. My Spanish is very limited, so I had to tell her about it via hand gestures and facial expressions. As you can imagine, when she finally realized what I was saying, her eyes got ten times wider and she said, "Oh Niiiikki, estas loca!"

What made this experience unique and special?

Spending the day at the City of Arts and Sciences.

Kalob: I think what made my experience unique in regards to the other individuals in my program was that I didn't know any Spanish going into it. I saw it as a challenge and was excited to see where not knowing the language took me. I am a very independent person so I had to learn to rely on others to communicate with the local people.

Having to do this allowed me to create even stronger ties with the individuals in my program and pushed me to expedite my learning process. It also made interactions between me and the Spaniards I met very amusing to watch and hear!

What made this trip meaningful to you, or how did this trip change your perceptions or future path?

Me and my roommates.

Kalob: This trip taught me that no matter where you are, you can always create a home for yourself. When you study abroad with a group of people, you form bonds almost instantaneously with each other. My group became my family, and Valencia became my home.

Never in a million years did I think I would fall in love with a city as big as Valencia, but because I made so many memories there, it will always have a place in my heart. Now I know that wherever my life takes me, even if it's not what I thought it would be, I will be able to adapt to it and make the most of any situation.
