This , we're in Europe with Elora! Elora is a fourth-year public health major who spent part of her summer studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain.

"Studying abroad with SDSU was an incredible journey. I enrolled in classes and secured housing, making my experience easier and more enjoyable. I met both familiar and new faces daily, participated in free events like paddle boarding and cooking classes, and immersed myself in local culture. I even traveled to London, Montpellier, and Valencia on weekends. I made friends for life, and it was a formative experience I will never forget!"
