I gained once in a lifetime experiences!

I was on the fence about studying abroad this past summer and I'm so glad I made the decision to go. Valencia is a very underrated city and if you're wanting to go to Spain, I definitely would recommend it. The food is cheap and this specific program is one of the cheaper options that's available. I stayed in the Resa Patacona student dorm and I had my own room and bathroom, which was super nice cause I had my own privacy when I wanted it. The student housing also had a view of the beach and was less then a 5 minute walk to get there. They had a wide variety of core classes, as well as amazing elective classes. I took the international business class and I also took the windsurfing elective class, which was one of the coolest things that I've ever been able to do. We took field trips almost every weekend to various places that were near Valencia, including Peniscola, where we took a boat ride around the coast and had great views of the castle that they had there. We also were able to travel during the long weekends and I went to Paris and Barcelona during those times. Traveling within Europe is very cheap so doing those weekend trips is very doable. I made so many great friends from this program and I'm still in contact with a few of them. I already can't wait to go back to Valencia!
