It was absolutely worthwhile. I gained so much knowledge about Spain's culture and language, as well as my own country in comparison. I gained life-long friends and memories I'll cherish forever! Ellen A - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Absolutely! My speaking ability improved immensely and I will never forget the friends, family, or memories I made in Alicante. I wish I could go back for a much longer time. I was much more self-aware after studying abroad, and I feel like I understand not only Spain better, but my own country as well. Abby N - University of Iowa View Entire Review
