Paige Welch
Spanish, BA
2019
Paige grew up in New Hampshire before she applied to and enrolled at Northeastern in order to pursue a B.A. in Spanish and a minor in Arabic. She’s a longtime lover of languages and desired a program that would allow her to both immerse herself in the study of the Spanish language and expand her cultural experiences. Here is her Northeastern story…

“Through the Spanish program, I have had a chance to go to Argentina and see the tallest waterfall in the Western Hemisphere, while at the same time stepping on the famous pampa of the gauchos. I was able to immerse myself in a new culture, one that I had only studied in books. I mostly studied Argentine history, culture and literature while there. By going to another country I was able to better my Spanish and my understanding of much of the history in South America”
