Every semester Auburn University offers countless opportunities to gain valuable educational and cultural experience in countries all over the world with its Auburn Abroad program.

This past summer, AU sophomore Blair Snell took advantage of one of those opportunities by completing her Spanish minor in Cuernavaca, Mexico. In her video, Blair talks about what her trip was like, what classes she took and why she would recommend that you study abroad too.
