From Civilian to Sevillian

Greetings from Seville, Spain! This is my third time studying abroad and I could not be  more excited for this journey to start. I have learned that people study abroad for different reasons and each time I go, there is a different motivation behind it. In general, I love studying abroad because it forces change; something we can all be resilient to. It is natural to want to stay in our comfort zones, enjoy routine things and stay in the same place. This time around, I want to indulge myself in the rich Spanish culture. I met the Spaniards who did an exchange program at Loyola Chicago and I really loved every single one of them. It seemed an easy decision to me, so I thought, “Why not?”.

I am exchanging at a Loyola campus in Spain (Universidad Loyola Andalucía) which was established in 2012. This campus is new and hosts 2,000 students compared to LUC which hosts about 15,000. I will be graduating abroad here in Seville. Right now my goal is to find a job abroad so I will definitely keep you posted on that! I will include any important travels or experiences that I have and I cannot wait for this journey to take off. Until next time….
