Hola, ¿cómo estás? I am Lyn, and I am spending my semester abroad in Concepción, Chile, at the Universidad del Desarrollo. The Universidad del Desarrollo (UDD) is one of the best private universities in South America, and I am very happy I can study there. The university offers many extracurricular activities like volunteering, sports, and leadership programs. It has two campuses, one big one in Santiago de Chile and a smaller one in Concepción. Concepción is a student city with many young people and a lot of music. It is situated at the mouth of the Bío Bío River and the Pacific Ocean. I love going to the beach after university and spending time with my friends. This semester, I was the only exchange student at UDD in Concepción, which allowed me to really get to know the Chilean culture and people. Also, improving your Spanish is an excellent possibility (even though you probably have to get used to the Chilean accent). Chile is a very long and diverse country. During the lecture-free time, I explored many regions, from icebergs and glaciers in Patagonia and southern Chile to the desert and salt flats in the northern areas, and saw so many animals. And of course, a few trips to other South American countries are also possible, and I would recommend taking every opportunity to see South America. If you love traveling and want to go on many adventures during your semester abroad, I highly recommend choosing Chile! It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Lyn BSc Business Administration Class of 2024
