A deeper understanding of social-economical systems. Good/life-long friends. Confidence. Surprisingly, my Spanish did not improve as much as I hoped. A student - Temple University View Entire Review
I learned how to drink rum directly from the bottle, I learned how to reject prostitutes, I learned that I cannot speak spanish, I learned that cuba does not offer much vegetarian food. I didn't really learn anything else. It was not worthwhile A student - Macalester College View Entire Review
