In just a few days I will leave for my grand European adventure! Thankfully I bought the last of my travel essentials yesterday including a journal (to document sights and experiences along the way) and a few (needed) clothing items. I even did some packing last night, it's going to be a tight fit, but I think I will manage.
As I prepare for my trip. I have been doing some research on the University of Pompeu Fabra (UPF). Here are some facts on the university:
- UPF is a public and urban university (located in the heart of Barcelona from the Rambla to the Olympic Village)
- UPF has three campuses 1. Ciutadella Campus (Social Sciences and Humanities) 2. Poblenou (Communications) 3. Mar Campus (Biomedical Sciences)
-Student population: over 8,000 (which is just about the same amount as Boston College's 9,000 undergraduate population)
Here are a few photos of the university:
Roger de Lluria building (located on the Ciutadella Campus) - looks very modern
The UPF Library (above), but nothing compares to my favorite, BC's Bapst Library (below)
As for my program, I will be taking an early-start intensive language course once I arrive to Barcelona and then I will complete two trimesters (5 courses in total). And all of my classes will be taken in Spanish! Hopefully all of my years of Spanish classes have prepared me well!
I will write back soon! Wish me luck!
