Journeys That Start Here
Life at MIUC, told by the people living it
Sophia Juarez
Sophia Juarez
BA International Business Management
USA, 21 years old
“The majority of my upbringing was in the United States. Coming from a small town, I wanted to
have a different experience. I am currently a third-year student studying business and I can
gladly say that the experience has been beyond what I ever expected.
With Spain, I was able to experience a different culture than what I had back in my town. I had
the wonderful opportunity to meet new people from different backgrounds. A lot of them gave
me new perspectives on political conflicts as well as everyday issues that we go through as
students.
Outside of the university setting, I got to travel around the south of Spain and visited places like
Ronda and Sevilla. I became immersed in the ways of Spanish life.
If anyone is ever given the opportunity to go out of your comfort zone and travel, I encourage
you to do so. I would never have the amount of knowledge and memories that I have today if I
never took the chance to take risk and adventure out.
