I learned a lot about independence and self-reliance. If you haven't traveled alone before, you'll learn a lot on how to do things on your own. Europe is not like America, but the teachers are very helpful since they have done the trip before. There are also plenty of online resources and recommendations for places to shop, explore, or just have a good time. As for the busier days, be prepared for heat and sun and bring a smile to every day, because you only get to see everything once. Apply for this program with someone you know, and if not, it's never too hard to make some new friends.

I learned that there are a lot of different ways to use architecture than just residential or commercial buildings.

My favorite part of this program was getting to see all of the unique architecture in Barcelona, Spain. We started off the trip with the Sagrada Familia, which is the most breathtaking work of architecture I have seen to date, and we got to see a lot of the work of Gaudi. He has a very unique architectural style that is present throughout a lot of Spain which was really awesome to see.
