I gained a global perspective, Spanish skills, and an appreciation for another culture as well as my own. It was completely worthwhile. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile and don't get me wrong I loved the program and the people. If I had to do it again though I would have looked for a program with more of a foreign component that was less Americanized. Chuck R - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

Laura B - University of Saint Thomas View Entire Review
Yes, I would say it was. I learned a lot about Spain and America's relationship as well as their place in the world, as well as a great understanding of Spanish culture. I also became a lot more aware of the way that different people live and think, as well as the way they see Americans. Peter R - DePauw University View Entire Review
It was very worthwhile, however I didn't like that it was to americanized. Silvia C - Trinity University View Entire Review
I really enjoyed my experience. I learned a great deal about other cultures and people and that the world is a lot bigger than I previously thought but that people are not so different despite cultural and geographically difference. Meredith V - Trinity University View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was absolutely worthwhile. When I think back on the experiences I had in four short months it's pretty astounding. Yes, I learned valuable language skills, but I learned valuable life skills as well (for instance, how to navigate public transportation in any major city in any language), and I learned a...

I learned a lot about the Spanish culture and the city of Madrid! It was definitely worthwhile! A student - Villanova University View Entire Review
The trip was one of if not the most important experience of my life. Beyond seeing new places, making new friends, and speaking a new language, I gained a new self-awareness during my time abroad. By constantly pushing and testing myself in what I could do, I feel like I have returned an adult with the emotional, physical, menta...

Inevitably, I got as close to fluency as I ever will, and a better understanding of Spanish culture. Although I didn't befriend that many native Spaniards, I did make friends for life from the IES program. I learned how to be more spontaneous and open-minded. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It was worth it to go abroad. I think learning a different language and experiencing a different culture it something everyone needs to do. Bentley H - Tufts University View Entire Review
YES! I loved everything about it Ana P - Trinity University View Entire Review
I made great friends, visited beautiful cities, ate delicious food, and experienced things I otherwise never would have been able to. I grew as a person into a new and improved man. Aaron N - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
ABSOLUTELY. Addie D - Ithaca College View Entire Review
I gained more perspectives from more varying countries, cultures and people. My experience deepened my already growing desire to travel and learn about more cultures. My plans have always been internationally related being an International Business and Spanish Linguistics major I really want to become involved in the field of ... Laura B - University of Saint Thomas View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Robert L - Austin College View Entire Review
Minus a few hiccups, I do not regret going to Madrid. It gave me different perspective on Spain, and I was able to realized that I enjoy Catalan culture a lot more, and Catalan people. Daniel Z - University of Rochester View Entire Review
My experience was definitely worthwhile. I don't know that I would ever live abroad, but I better appreciate the differences and similarities that the United States has with Europe. Emily H - Trinity University View Entire Review
Yes. I've always wanted to stay for an extended period of time in a foreign country so it was perfect for that. It has given me a perspective outside the U.S. that everyone should have. It hasn't changed my future plans. Kevin R - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
