What inspired you to study abroad?
Since my first day of studies, I was studying abroad in places like Dublin, Toulouse, the Netherlands, and Paris. Last year in Paris they gave me the option to go again abroad to make a double diploma at Barcelona Technology School.
How is living in Barcelona?
Really nice, I love Barcelona. Before coming to Barcelona, I knew Barcelona for doctors, shopping and party. Barcelona is a very cool, very cultural city and with a lot of parties, fully adaptable for young people.
How do you see yourself in future?
In the future I see myself working in digital, but I do not know in which sector. I like fashion but also the ski sector, so maybe mixing both. It would be really nice, but I do not know yet.
Are you developing new skills?
I am developing a lot of real new skills. So now I am meeting new people, developing personal skills but also professional because in my class I am with people that have a lot of professional experience which I don´t have which helps me to grow.
Why would you recommend Barcelona Technology School?
It is a very personalized university because we are very close to our colleagues in class, also teachers and staff. So I would recommend this school. But also, because if we have questions and touchy relationship with the teachers, they help you a lot with everything.
Is this time abroad impacting your life?
Yes, it’s really impacting my life because it is the first time that I am close to home. I am from Andorra. I am close to my family and I spend half and half time here, between Barcelona and Andorra.
How is your experience at Barcelona Technology School?
Very cool because I love to arrive here and everyone is smiling and very helpful to everyone. We are super close to each other and arrive here to an international class, with different nationalities, also you are learning a lot about their different experiences. For example, all my colleagues in class have a lot of experience so they are helping me a lot to live my professional and personal career.
