From Bluffton to Barcelona, junior spends the semester in Spain
Malika Thompson ’18, a Spanish major from Cincinnati, Ohio, is spending her Bluffton University spring semester in Barcelona, Spain.
During her cross-cultural experience she is immersing herself in the culture, expanding her knowledge of the Spanish language and discovering more about herself in the process.
“I’ve just been learning so much about life,” said Thompson. “I’m learning about the things I do and don’t want to do, and I’ve been learning through my mistakes.”
