Filled out the gaps in my understanding of Europe's culture and history. Better understood the approach of Spanairds to life. Yes, it was worthwhile. A student - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
I feel like I gained an amazing preview and overview of the culture of Spain. Living with host families further enhanced this experience because we felt like part of the family and were able to interact with them on a day to day level. It was definitely worthwhile. I would do it again in a heartbeat and would encourage everyone ... A student - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
I learned a ton not only about the language, culture, people of Spain, architecture, history, etc., but also about myself. I discovered, based on the relationships I made with my fellow study abroad students, what kind of man I want to marry. I learned so much about myself as well, and what kind of person I want to be, because o... jessie.jones.7549 - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
I learned how to have patience with other students, communicate better in Spanish, live in a European country, make friends with the locals, and make the best out of the situation (have an attitude of what I can give to these people, not what I can get from them). I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Elizabeth D - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
I gained an appreciation for differences in views and customs between America and Spain. I loved the ability to see places and artifacts that I had read about in my history of Spain class a few semesters previously. A student - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
I learned how to connect with other cultures (spend time with them). I learned how to be flexible with cultural differences, I learned to love a country I knew little about, I learned to accept new things into my opinions and the way I think. It was VERY worthwhile. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I could! A student - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
I learned a lot from my peers. We were all different, but we all had a quality or more than one quality, that was a great addition to the group as a whole. We grew spiritually as we were able to share our testimonies and pray together at devotionals, family home evening, and church services. We learned from our experiences toget...

I feel like I really came to understand the Spanish culture. I also loved that we saw so much of Spain in so little time. It was worth every penny and every sacrifice. A student - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
This experience was entirely invaluable! It was so neat to see how different, and yet how similar we as Americans are to people from all over the world. In a certain respect, we're all in this together, and that was an incredible thing to learn. It also was neat to experience how much variation there is in the basic, everyday...

My mind has been opened to so many more possibilities of living and choosing and learning. Madeleine H - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
I definitely became more independent and learned how to function in another country. It's always been my dream to go to Europe, so I was not only able to fulfill that dream, but also to learn more of Spain's history, improve my Spanish, travel, and have the time of my life. I would do it over in a heartbeat! A student - Brigham Young University View Entire Review
