CAMILA ANSALDI (4TH YEAR)

She completed her exchange program in the first semester of 2022 at the University of Navarra, Pamplona. 

“The exchange program exceeded all my expectations. I never imagined I would learn about and experience so many cultures, places, and people from other countries. I went alone, but the only time I was truly alone was when I boarded the plane; hours later, I was already meeting more and more people with whom I later traveled to many countries in Europe. Doing the exchange in Spain helped me see a different perspective on Psychology, which I found to be a very valuable addition to my future career. The University of Navarra welcomed me with open arms, offering excellent programs and courses, and Pamplona definitely stole my heart. I can happily say that it was the best six months of my life!”

 

JASMINE OF VIRGILIS (4TH YEAR)

She completed her exchange program in the first semester of 2022 at the International University of Catalonia, Barcelona.

“For me, this exchange meant growth, both personally and academically. Academically, because I was able to see Psychology from a different perspective, since they have a different outlook, and I think that will be a plus in my professional career. And personally, you grow by meeting people, connecting with others, not only Spaniards, but people from other countries, managing on your own, because it involves going to live without your family for a while and getting to know the culture of the country you live in.”
