I gained a chance to see the greatest cities in the world and meet people who are globally minded. Renato T - Fairfield University View Entire Review
It was amazing and I would definitely do it again! While I'm not sure I would use the same program, to be immersed so fully in the culture was an incredible, life changing experience!!! I learned so much about Spanish culture and language! Definitely worthwhile! I recommend study abroad to everyone!!! McKenna O - Fairfield University View Entire Review
