I gained many friendships, travel experience, the proficiency of a foreign language, and memories that I will remember for the rest of my life. Jake C - University of Missouri - Columbia View Entire Review
yeah I learned a little about spanish and a lot about spaniards George D - University of Missouri - Columbia View Entire Review
It was worthwhile for the traveling benefits and the host family I had made it worth it. Academically, it was not worth it and I feel as if my grades suffered because of the lack on support/instructions/guidelines Rebecca S - Arizona State University View Entire Review
I learned how much I really appreciate both my country and other countries and cultures. Now I have travel fever and can't wait to go see more of the world. A student - Arizona State University View Entire Review

I gained better Spanish language skills, a deeper understanding of the culture, some great new relationships, ate delicious food (and even learned how to cook some!), saw beautiful places, traveled, explored, learned more about the world, and added a wealth of new experiences. It was a GREAT experience, and it would do it again... A. D - Erskine College View Entire Review
I was able to be fully culturally immersed in Alicante with ALI Abroad. leah.bartmess - University of Missouri - Columbia View Entire Review
Learned the language and about the culture. It was worthwhile. Camila L - Arizona State University View Entire Review
I gained so much in so many aspects. It is hard to sum up my experience in such few sentences, but I feel like I grew in so many ways. I learned a great deal about Spain and its culture, as well as my own culture. I became independent while improving my Spanish skills. It was definitely a worthwhile trip and I would love to go...

I gained a worldview into cultures other than my own. I learned how to live where everything is different from what I know. It was completely worthwhile. Kara T - University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse View Entire Review
I vastly improved my language skills and also learned how to be more open. I would say that this experience definitely taught me how to be a more outgoing person. It was the most worthwhile experience of my life so far. Brooke M - University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse View Entire Review
I gained a lot of confidence. I can be independent, travel, make friends in other parts of the world and live somewhere completely unfamiliar. Kaitlyn P - Arizona State University View Entire Review
My experience in Spain was more than worthwhile. It was easily the best 5 months of my life and completely changed my life. Before Spain I planned on coming home to NY, graduating and getting married in 5 years and living in NY for the rest of my life. Now, I don't have a plan and I don't believe in making plans. My number one g... A student - St. Joseph's College New York View Entire Review
Yes, I gained fluency in Spanish and had a great time! I learned about the Spanish culture and fully blended into it without losing my American identity. I made friends in my university classes, chatted with locals in the central market, and talked with my Spanish neighbors every morning, Madeline J - University of Missouri - Columbia View Entire Review
Absolutely, I loved every second of it and had a lot of opportunites for travel to other countries and all over spain while I was there. Ashlee G - Illinois College View Entire Review
