In this episode, we dive into what it truly means to immerse yourself in the community while studying abroad. It’s easy to focus solely on academics, but real cultural understanding comes when you step outside the classroom and engage with the local culture
We sit down with Chanalei Bartholomew and Victoria Gamarra two students currently studying at the International College of Seville (ICS) who are doing just that. From working as a social media intern at the ICS to playing on a local Spanish soccer team and tutoring English, these students are embracing unique opportunities to connect with the community.
Listen as they share their experiences, challenges, and the rewarding moments of getting involved in Seville through volunteer work, sports, and creative internships. If you’re studying abroad or planning to, this episode offers practical tips and inspiring stories on how you can make the most of your time abroad!
