Spain: It Will Change Your View On Life

It was very worthwhile. I learned first hand about a culture and a country. I met new friends who are amazing. I saw things that previously I have only read about or seen in pictures. I was 6,000 miles from home and I was able to live without influences from family and old friends. I discovered who I am.

Salamanca: A Beautiful City Worth Returning To

Study abroad made me more determined than ever to travel once I graduate. I loved Salamanca and want to go back, possibly to stay there for a few years. I loved learning about a new culture that had so many similarities (like school, work) and differences (like no sweet potato! and a lot more walking)

Salamanca The Best 3 Months Of My College Career

I started to understand just how huge the world is, and the insignificance of a single person. Living in a city for the first time was initially a challenge but after getting accustomed to my surroundings I loved the hustle and bustle of a living city.

Spaniards: Always Late, But Still Freakin' Great! Definitely The Most Influential Time Of My Life.

Let's put it this way, after I came back, my entire life goals had changed. I am currently in the field of international education, even though my BSBA was in Finance. I feel so much more aware of the cultures, politics, and general life-style of Spaniards, as well as Europeans in general. I, hands down, want to stay in the fiel...

Salamanca, Spain: The Experience Of A Lifetime!

For sure!! I learned a lot about the Spanish language and Culture. And I love it! I can't wait to go back. Salamanca will always have a special place in my heart. I decided to bump up my Spanish minor to a major after this experience.

Salamanca: City Of Reinvention

It was such a great worthwhile experience. I feel like i was slightly transformed over there. I definitely learned to appreciate all the ammenties and convenience of the US while still wishing I could live in Europe. My future plans have changed a little bit because I am now heavily considering teaching english over in europe or...

Spain: Incredible

I LOVED STUDYING ABROAD. It was the best decision I've ever made. I am so much more in touch with who I am and what I want out of life...being away really forces you to focus on that because you can be whoever you want to be. This experience also helped me to overcome any sort of timidity about meeting new people and trying n...

Salamanca, My Second Home.

Salamanca will forever be one of the biggest parts of who I am. The worst part about Salamanca is having to come home at the end of the program! Studying in Salamanca was the best choice I've ever made. I have lots of international friends and American friends from this experience. I have gone to visit American friends in USA...

I met so many amazing people and learned life lessons that I wouldn't have been able to experience in my home country. I definitly want to make future plans to be abroad again for an exten...
