I think Salamanca is an amazing city for students who want to actually speak Spanish. The people are amazing, including the directors who make your time there memorable. The group is small so you become a family by the end, no matter how different you are from each other. Your eyes will be opened permanently to new types of people and your life in general will have changed... view full review

I think everyone would benefit from this experience. You have to go into the program with an open mind and be willing to try new things. Research about the country you are visiting will also help prepare you for new cultural norms. view full review

The class atmosphere was a lot more laid back. You were expected to do work on your own and be an active class participant in order to practice the language. However many of the professors tried to incorporate the experience outside of the classroom within in to help the students better understand their experiences. Overall, it's more about the experience and learning with... view full review

Yes it was completely worthwhile. It has definitely put Spanish at the forefront of my future plans, whatever they may be. My cultural awareness has definitely grown - I am more aware and appreciative of our differences and am more eager to learn about and from others. view full review

The teaching methods were perfect for study abroad. We got to experience learning from a whole different perspective because we were able to take trips and see things first hand. Our professors were understanding in the fact that we were in Europe and wanted to travel and experience the world around us. They were kind enough to give us internet assignments when we missed c... view full review
