I hate to flake out on you guys without a "real" post this week, but it is already 1:30 am in Spain, I am leaving for England TOMORROW... and I haven't even started packing. Typical Christina. I actually did have intentions to plan this trip ahead of time. I was going to go in three weeks...

Since the election returns came in during the middle of the night here in Spain, Democrats Abroad hosted a HUGE all night party in downtown Madrid. One of my friends and I went and spent the night cheering on Obama with our fellow Americans abroad. It was such an exciting and emotional night, especially...

One of my favorite things about Spain is all the narrow streets just packed with restaurants, tapas bars, bookstores and more! This is what Europe looks like to me : ) Here you can see my friend Rebecca making her way through the streets of San Sebastian, a beautiful town on the northern coast that we...

When I first realized I would be out of the country during my first presidential election as a voter, I was really disappointed.

Abby, I think you are totally right about Spanish... I...

Hey everyone! I noticed a common theme that many of us love languages and are interested in study abroad, so I started a new thread about it. I started off by sharing my experience with these things at Butler, and I would love to answer any questions you might have about BU... ...but we can also use...

Hey all! I have noticed in the "Favorite Classes" thread that there are a lot of you interested in foreign languages and studying abroad. I am a junior English and Spanish double major and I'm studying abroad with a Butler program in Madrid right now... and loving it! (You can read about...

One question I always get from prospective students is about roommates. This is understandable; most of us have never shared a bedroom with our siblings, much less a perfect stranger. I have mostly had good experience with my roommates throughout college, but studying abroad seemed a little scary… I...
