Category: Spain: University of Oviedo

With the academic semester now in full swing a lot more focus is being put on studying rather than travel and other leisurely activities. In class I am currently studying poetry, the relationship between Spain and the Americas, business in Spain and  also Spanish architecture. With me being an international business major, naturally business is…

Amazingly enough, this month has been just as eventful as my first here in Europe! In addition to beginning classes at the local university we have continued our travels to cities both local and abroad. We kick started October with a visit to the beautiful city of London. With this being my first time visiting…

My first month in Spain has been insanely eventful. Not only have we started and finished our intensive review of Spanish at CBCE but we have experienced Oviedo’s annual weeklong celebration by the name of San Mateo and have done a good bit of traveling as well.

As the fourth month comes to an end, it is really starting to hit me that my time here is getting shorter and shorter. I have made the most amazing friends that have made my experience even more memorable. I joined the Erasmus group while being here, which is the program in which European students…
