Adding a Spanish Major to my Biology Major was not easy but I was able to experience so many things! I was also able to study abroad in Valencia Spain at the Institute of Spanish Studies. I spent two months over the summer perfecting my Spanish and shadowing at a local hospital in Valencia which was all coordinated through the school. It was an amazing experience being able to shadow in so many different specialties in another country.
