GEO: Segovia - Study Abroad Programs in Segovia

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Studying abroad in Segovia expanded my world view and exposed me to another culture other than my own. I gained a lot of knowledge through classes and excursions that exposed me to different cultural sites and cities of Spain. This program enabled me to become fluent without any lack of confidence when speaking Spanish.
