IES Abroad Madrid was AMAZING! I learned so much while I was in Madrid and wouldn't trade that experience for anything. Because Madrid is so centralized, I was able to travel to a plethora of cities within Spain and experience other countries outside of Spain as well. There is a wide variety of classes offered and lots of activi... A student - Bradley University View Entire Review
I gained friendships and improved my language ability to the point where I can say that I'm fluent. I was also able to travel most of Spain and experience the myriad of cultures. Definitely worthwhile. Alec Ebersole - Trinity University View Entire Review
I gained confidence in speaking Spanish and many local friends from this experience. I would absolutely do it again the same way if possible because this experience was so worthwhile. KT Thomas - Franklin & Marshall College View Entire Review
I learned how to assimilate in a different environment in a seamless manner. I improved my Spanish skills - and I learned how to study in a different academic system that what I'm used to. Abdulwahab Alhaji - University of Rochester View Entire Review
I learned about Spanish culture while reflecting on my own culture. I also learned a lot about myself and gained confidence while traveling alone and with friends. I grew so much from this experience. Gina - The College of Wooster View Entire Review
Independence, confidence, problem solving skills. I learned a lot of things by trial and error- the metro/train systems in different countries, how to barter in the souks in Morocco, how to get around in Venice without getting lost, how to use the night búhos in Madrid... definitely worthwhile. A student - Trinity University View Entire Review
I gained a lot of confidence from my study abroad experience. In myself as an individual and as well as in my Spanish. I learned a lot about myself and the experience made me feel powerful because I was a young woman who went out on my own into an unknown country, and I completely conquered it. I fell in love with Spain and I wa... Shada T - University of Michigan - Ann Arbor View Entire Review

I gained an appreciation for other cultures and loved of history Janey A - Wofford College View Entire Review
I improved my Spanish, have a family I can talk to in Madrid, and made friends all over the United States. I also learned that I can travel alone and handle myself in tough situations. I have gained a new confidence in myself knowing that I can live in another country. Maggie L - Wagner College View Entire Review
My experience abroad was extremely worthwhile. Not only did I greatly improve my Spanish speaking abilities, make new American and foreign friends, and explore all over Spain and Europe, but I also grew a lot as a person. Mainly, I experienced a new level of independence traveling in foreign countries by myself, and gained a fre... Caitlin S - Bowdoin College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the history of Spain and its impact on the world. It was definitely worthwhile. Abner A - University of Rochester View Entire Review
I can't put into words what this program meant to me. It truly was the best 4 months of my life and I was able to make so many amazing friends and travel to so many incredible places. It's a once in a life time experience and I wouldn't change a single second of my time abroad. A student - Pennsylvania State University - University Park / Penn State View Entire Review

Totally worthwhile!! Learned a lot about myself and had to let go a lot of my fears and anxieties. I approach life in the US differently now. Haleigh - University of Michigan - Ann Arbor View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself being abroad. Although being homesick does happen a few times, being abroad is worth it! Kimberly Carnero - Ithaca College View Entire Review
I learned so much about the language and culture. Almost as much in five months as in the previous 5 years I've studied Spanish Nate Woodard - University of Rochester View Entire Review
I gained experience traveling solo. I also gained experience in learning in a different language and living in a different language. It was eye opening to make connections with people not in my native tongue Meagan M - Scripps College View Entire Review
As a student majoring in Spanish and International Relations, studying in Madrid was a like a capstone to my undergraduate studies. During my semester in Madrid I had the opportunity to take classes at the world famous Museo Nacional del Prado, enroll in a course at La Universidad Complutense de Madrid, take the DELE language ce...

My Spanish improved drastically. I also learned how to plan travel, make my own decisions, and solve problems on my own. Studying abroad was definitely worth it. Adam C - Rice University View Entire Review
People will tell you that when you go abroad something changes in you. I never really felt this until I went on to Spain. Coming from a small southern town to a bustling city environment was a huge change for me. Especially when my host mother spoke not one word of English. To be honest, the first night I was not so sure tha... Megan P - University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill View Entire Review
I would highly recommend this program to someone interested in studying abroad with the goal of immersing yourself in Spanish language and culture. The classes (which includes any homework and projects, exams, etc.) are all in Spanish, and you have a couple of choices for living options which is sometimes hard to find in other p...

I am definitely more fluent in Spanish after my semester there, and I have a much better understanding of Spanish history and how they interact with the world. Sarah H - Villanova University View Entire Review
