Segovia: an international community life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Giulia is a 22-year-old and she was born in Brazil but she grew up in London and Portugal. She\u2019s currently a student of the Bachelor of Digital Media and Communication at the Segovia Campus. She finds one of the best things about Segovia, is the beauty of a city full of history and the fact that you live \u201cfive minutes away from any IE student\u201d. \u201cYou\u2019re a super short walk from the university so there\u2019s never any stress\u201d, and she gets to enjoy the environment of the old Jewish neighborhood with mostly pedestrian small streets. \u201cIt takes you back to when the city was blooming and medieval, and it\u2019s really exciting\u201d.

Even though it might seem like a \u201csmall\u201d environment, she gets to set close relationships with mentors and other students. \u201cI\u2019ve been really like because I\u2019ve met Iona, my bachelor director here at IE. She has a vast experience: she\u2019s worked for Sony for many years she held very executive positions, and she\u2019s been kind of a mentor to me for these past years\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also highlights the value of the international student body at IE. She studies in a classroom with 30 students from 20 different countries which enrich every moment of the University experience: \u201cevery time we\u2019re debating a topic in class, people have 20 completely contrasting views of things that you never thought about before. If we\u2019re discussing anything you might think there\u2019s an obvious answer but you\u2019ll be surprised every time the conversation opens up! That\u2019s something you can\u2019t get anywhere else\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madrid: live the life of a big European Capital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Sergio is 20 years old and a second-year student of the BBA at IE University. He was born in South Africa but he lived in different countries such as Angola, Mexico, and Portugal.
He has a professional soccer background playing for the Real Madrid team, and he loves the fact that so many people love that sport at Madrid so he has many friends to share that experience with.

Thanks to the fact that Madrid is a big European capital with many international people but also so well connected with many means of transport such as the high-speed trains that allow you to travel around. Thanks to this he gets to visit many places in Spain and he\u2019s really in love with the country \u201cI got to really enjoy the food and I meet different kinds of people\u201d. He also appreciates the fact that everyone he meets is very proud of being Spanish and very passionate about where they live, and the fact that the people are very welcoming and make you feel at home, wherever you go.

Sergio chose to study at IE University because an international experience was very important to him, and diversity is a big plus: \u201cThe skills I developed very well at IE University was definitely teamwork, and working with many different people. So what I developed was how to manage all of these ideas and how I can get people to talk about their ideas and encourage people to share their experiences\u201d. The best thing about the BBA program for Sergio is that it \u201chas a great overview of everything I wanted to do in the future, so it has all of the marketing, so we have all of the business, we have all of the finance, all of the marketing\u2026 and I wanted to have something general and then decide throughout the years what I really wanted to do\u201d.
