Accounting Major
Study Abroad: Lisbon, Portugal
Do you have a favorite class that you are taking? Why?
I really enjoy my entrepreneurship class right now. The class primarily revolves around a report and pitch of a current company entering a new market segment. My group chose Schneider, a French electric company, that is trying to break into California.
What do you like about your program/university?
I really like that the university has allowed me to engage with international students from across the world. Also, the program has offered multiple trips to explore Portugal outside of Lisbon.
What has been your favorite place that you visited so far or favorite part about your city? Why?
My favorite place that I have visited so far is Marrakech, Morocco for its uniqueness. It felt like stepping into a whole different universe when I first arrived. My friends and I got to explore the town, ride camels, and have lunch in a Berber village.
What advice would you give to the 2024 abroad students?
Go for it! I'm not much of an adventurous person and I had a lot of friends back out of the study abroad program this past year. All I can say is that it's worth it and there may never be an opportunity to openly travel as you can through the study abroad program.
