Emma

Hey there! My name is Emma and I am a senior at ECU working towards a major in Biology with a minor in Hispanic Studies. I am originally from Michigan, but I have lived in North Carolina for 10 years.

Where did you study abroad?

Buenos Aires, Argentina

What is Your Favorite Memory from Your Time Abroad?

Having dinner with my host family!

How Has Studying Abroad Helped Your Personal and Professional Life?

Yes, personally because I now know that I can go abroad and live within the different cultures and be able to get around. Professionally, my Spanish improved immensely. I was really able to communicate with the locals.

What Advice Can You Offer to Students Interested in Studying Abroad?

I would recommend that everyone try it at least once. It is an exciting adventure where you can explore new places and get to know new friends. My advice is to have google maps at the ready to be able to know how to get around.
