Portrait of Sindi
Student Voices
Sindi Banaj, Wharton '26

"Living and studying in Madrid allowed me to experience firsthand the cultural contexts discussed in my classes. I visited historical sites, museums, and cultural landmarks, such as the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Prado Museum, and Plaza Mayor. These experiences enriched my knowledge of Spain’s rich heritage and contemporary society, enhancing my classroom learning and bringing theoretical concepts to life."
