Review Title:

Sevilla, Spain: An Experience I Wouldn't Change For Anything!

**Words of wisdom:

Make sure you're great at Spanish, because the culture and classes will really challenge your Spanish knowledge! Above all else enjoy the experience because it goes by incredibly fast! Don't think about studying abroad...do it!

**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?

Without question my experience abroad was an exceptional experience. Words don't really do it justice. I learned a ton in my classes, and I traveled to 9 different countries while I lived in Spain for 5 months. I hope I get to live in Europe again soon! It was that incredibly rewarding.
