Tufts In Alcala: The Best Of SpainStudying abroad gave me the tools I needed to become a confident, independent, and culturally-sensitive traveler, which has served me very well in the years since. It challenged me to adapt to a new education system and to step outside of my comfort zone in terms of classes, extracurricular activities, and relationships with stu... |

Alcalá De Henares: Dull, Isolated, Sexist, Racist, Homophobic, And Not MadridI now feel very American, even somewhat patriotic.

(No Title)The program was great, like I said before, deep cultural immersion with support from a helpful administration. My language skills improved significantly, to say the least. |

(No Title)It is cliche, but I did become more independent. I was incredibly worried about going abroad, but the only way to get over being worried is to just suck it up and go. And it turns out that there was nothing to worry about. |
