Study Abroad - Nicolais Burr
Stockton Students Abroad: Nicolais Burr
My name is Nicolaus Burr and I'm a senior at Stockton. Currently I am a double major
at Stockton with degrees in progress in Education and History. I have also finished
my minor in Holocaust Studies and I plan on graduating Spring of 2015. Being born
and raised in New Jersey, traveling the world has always been a dream of mine. This
year I was fortunate enough to study abroad in Barcelona, Spain and my experiences
that have come from this journey have been life changing. To understand and adapt
to a different culture is truly a rewarding and beneficial expiereince. Not only has
it instilled a greater sense of appreciation for humanity but it also allows one to
be come self aware of the issues that are involved with a different society. Spain
and the Catalonia territory contain some of the most beautiful works of art, cities
and beaches in all of the world. I truly recommend studying abroad to anyone willingly
for a sense of adventure. To adapt into a different society is a remarkable idea and
it truly will change your mindset and your life!

Hey! Just wrapping up the second week! Can’t tell you how grateful I am to be here and see this beautiful culture and its cities. It’s so much to take in I honestly wish I had more time to truly get a grasp of what this culture has to offer. Today we just got back from Costa Brava, a town 2 hours north of Barcelona. We stayed there for the weekend. We visited Dali’s museum along with exploring the towns of Roses and taking a boat out to the Mediterranean for swimming and sunbathing. My classes are fantastic and I love my professors. I’m doing well and my Spanish is improving very much so. I look forward to soaking up these next two weeks and I will write back at the end of this next one.

Hi everyone, my first week has been great here in Barcelona! I’m really enjoying the city life and my classes and I’m learning a great amount. So far I have explored a good amount of the tourist sections of the city and I’m hoping to see more this next upcoming week! I just wanted to keep in touch and let you know how things were going. Tomorrow we’re heading to the south of France for the weekend. I’m really excited to see what France has in store and I’ll be emailing my adventures soon!
