Final Opinion

Academics Overall

**Overall educational experience:

**Comment:

The topics I studied in Compluense were very attractive and concrete. I am probably not a serious student, but the all the academics stuff were very interactive and gave me the will to listen and to participate

Language Overall

**Language acquisition improvement?

**Comment:

Before coming in Madrid, I was in Asia during 6 months, so I didn't speak spanish at all. So my spanish level was really awfull when I arrived there. I think I was more or less fluent when I left the University, which means that I really improve my language skills !

Participation Year:

2008

Term:

Spring

Housing Overall

**Housing satisfaction:

**Comment:

I came in Madrid in January, and it's not the good time to move on, because there are few deparures in January, but a lot of arrivals. But there are a lot of students in this city, so it's easy to find a big flt with a lot o foreign students, and flats are not really expensive (I live in Paris, so for me it wasn't expensive at all!)

Food Overall

**Food satisfaction:

**Comment:

I love spanish food. I just felt uncomfortable to eat the lunch at 3.00 pm and the diner at 10.00 pm ! But the quality of food was pretty good

Safety and Health Overall

**How well were health issues addressed through your program?

**Safety:

**Comment:

I haven't been sick during my trip, so I cannot answer to the healt one. But I never had any problem in Madrid concerning the safety

Money Overall

**How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?

General Assessment Overall

**Words of wisdom:

Don't drink too much, spanish drinks are really cheap, and spanish guys are really strong ! And spanish people are easy going, so don't hang out only with foreign people, try to break into their habits, it's really nice. To conclude, don't forget to enjoy it, because living abroad is an unique experience. And be successfull in your exams! Don't forget to go to school !

**If you could do it all over again, would you choose the same program?

Yes

**Overall satisfaction with your study abroad experience:

**Was your study abroad experience worthwhile?

It wasn't my first one, it wasn't my best one neither, but it was the experience abroad where I lived the most as a local guy. I discovered a culture a way of thinking, a different approach of life. I would be really happy to work there
