Interview with an Incoming student from Romania and Colombia
“I chose ESDI because, after researching different design schools in Barcelona on their websites and Instagram, I saw ESDI’s projects and realized they were the most aligned with my style. The others were more general, but I really liked how ESDI presented its work.”
“We were watching the fireworks on the beach, and afterwards, there were elderly people dancing bachata on the streets. It was such a lovely atmosphere! People in Spain are so friendly and warm.”
