Through WVU Education Abroad, students from the WVU School of Nursing had the opportunity last semester to travel to Barcelona and Valencia. 🌍

The participating students immersed themselves in the culture of Spain while they learned about healthcare, nursing, nutrition and environmental influences on health.

"I feel as if going to another country and seeing their healthcare face-to-face is a truly eye-opening experience because we never really understand what it's like in a different country until you're truly there," said Jacob Dilly, a nursing student at our Beckley Campus.
