At first, I had hoped to change programs after a few semesters, but I couldn’t afford it. And in any case, the classes and labs conflicted with my work schedule. As an immigrant without a Spanish passport, I couldn’t apply for public financial aid, and the degree programs aren’t set up for students who have to work to make ends meet. Don’t get me wrong, the education system in Spain is certainly better than Ghana’s; otherwise, maybe I could have studied there. But Spanish universities have their problems too.
