Ellie Eisses: 

Math & Spanish Majors, Education Minor
- Segovia, Spain Program

"Spain was an incredible experience for me. I enjoyed the ease of traveling across the country, exploring diverse landscapes from mountains to Mediterranean beaches. Immersing myself in a different culture gave me a new perspective on global citizenship and improved my Spanish language skills. Living in a foreign environment boosted my confidence and helped me make lasting connections. Attending a Bible study during my trip was particularly impactful, highlighting the universal nature of faith. I highly recommend studying abroad, it’s an unforgettable experience!"

Molly Ward:

"Getting to study abroad brought my degree to life. I got real world application while getting to finish my studies. It’s an experience that allows you to join and be immersed in another culture as a student and not a tourist. When else are you going to be able to move to another country and be so supported? My school staff and the study abroad staff have taken care of the things that allowed me to come. Just do it!"

“Getting to study abroad is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I was so grateful for the opportunity to travel and see such important historical sites. I know this experience will have a great impact on my future career as a teacher. Throughout the trip, I felt very safe and prepared for everything that I saw and did. I highly recommend taking the chance to study abroad while you are here at CU.”
