For Noorin Bhanji, a senior at Boston University majoring in public relations and advertising, study in Spain was a way to get a jump on a career in advertising. In Madrid, she took classes in the language and culture of Spain and participated in an internship at a research and consulting company called Grupo Consultores. “It was a fantastic opportunity to better learn the language and to see how advertising agencies are doing abroad,’’ says Bhanji.
IMMERSION: “All students live with a variety of Spanish families. As a result, we are able to practice our Spanish at home, explore the culture, ask questions, discover more about Spanish society, and, above all, build caring relationships with people of a different culture despite the language barrier.’’
