Hello, my name is Allison and I studied at the University of Deusto<\/a>, Bilbao, from January<\/p>\n

to May 2018. I am from Wisconsin in the United States and although Bilbao is very different than the small cities which I am used to, it was a really great place for me. I arrived in Bilbao with with no friends that I knew and left with many. The University of Deusto allowed me to meet many people including people from the United States through CIDE <\/a>and gave me opportunities to meet local students, as well.<\/p>\n

The CIDE <\/a>staff were very helpful, choosing families that the students lived with and giving
\ninformation very early before I travelled to Bilbao so that I was not confused when I arrived in Spain. The professors were incredible and helped me a lot, as well. They were fun and although I took Spanish classes in the United States for ten years, I learned so many more things in my classes in Bilbao. The classes were very interesting and the professors have a sense of humor, but still make sure you are learning each day. They want every student to be successful.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
