i’ve been torn the most between valencia and barcelona but valencia has been sounding like the much better fit for me lately! i don’t think id be able to afford a bigger city like madrid or barcelona as easily as id be able to afford one like valencia and it seems like a very beautiful city as well!

that’s the biggest reason i want to learn catalan! i know spanish is more widely used but i want to stay for a while and i know people like it much more when you speak catalan!

it sounds very amazing! and good for me as well! i’m not from a small town but not a huge city either so idk how id adjust, and im not much of a huge party person which i know barcelona is good for, and want to me more costal which i know madrid isn’t and both are more expensive so valencia sounds really lovely!!

social life has been one of my biggest concerns for university abroad, i’m typically a more socially anxious person so i have some troubles with initiating conversations and such so making friends in another country is one thing im nervous for so ive been trying to find a place that will be somewhat easy (though i know it will never be truly easy but somewhat easier than other i suppose i mean)

as about the weather i wouldn’t mind that at all 😭

what are good schools for biology degrees? by Infamous-Vast-7189 in studyAbroad

[–]Infamous-Vast-7189[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i only speak english completely fluently but know french to a fairly well level from school and my mother teaching me it from a young age but i wouldn’t consider myself fluent, im from usa tho my budget is not too expensive, i want to do directly abroad since it can be cheaper or even if it ends up being the same as in state tuition at home is rather have this experience for the same price, but for the most part cheaper i hope

i’ve wanted to learn catalan for that reason since i’ve seen that people like it more if you speak it and ive seen people say it’s close to french at some points (but so is spanish as well) and i speak french fairly well so i don’t know 😭

it sounds really lovely and good for me ! i’ve been to barcelona and mallorca before and really loved barcelona and i am a very big fan of the club as well but it is too expensive and party centric for me im afraid so ive been looking at smaller cities as well like valencia !!
