I gained confidence in my Spanish and met amazing new friends. I also was given the time to reevaluate what is important to me and find the right balance for my life. Being able to thrive in a country with a different pace, culture, and language was incredibly rewarding for me and gave me motivation to continue getting out of my...

A lot of global experience/language improvement. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I gained much more confidence in my language ability and many new friends. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My language skills improved quite a bit--especially my vocabulary and ease of speaking in Spanish. I also met some really cool people, both other European study abroad students and Spanish students that I will definitely be keeping in touch with. I left feeling fulfilled and grateful for the experience. Sarah M - Wellesley College View Entire Review
International perspective A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned so much about how different life is in Europe from fashion trends to just like the pace. I don't know if it was because I felt like I was on vacation, but there was just less pressure and stress. Everything I did felt very much about being in the moment and just enjoying it. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself and felt like I had a great academic semester as well with the language immersion component A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
New friends and more confidence in my Spanish Brynne Ruark - Wellesley College View Entire Review
huge gain in language proficiency, international perspective, some travelling experience, being more comfortable out of my comfort zone A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My experience was very worthwhile. My Spanish and my comfort and fluency in speaking improved in ways that never would have been possible without the immersive experience. I also learned so much from being immersed in the culture and having the incredible opportunity to see many places within Spain, each providing a unique and i...

I learned how to be an adult. Not only have I taken these skills back home with me, but it made me realize how much easier adulting would be than I realized. It could be fun and is not as scary as some may think it to be. Being "alone" in Spain allowed me to really hone my social skills and start making friends from "scratch."

Full immersion really is the best way to learn A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Life perspective, independence, confidence. Zoe S - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I definitely improved my academic Spanish and learned lots about the Spaniard culture and history Cynthia G - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I became more confident in Spanish, I also became more confident in myself. Having to navigate a completely new culture I was in uncomfortable situations that I was able to navigate and I therefore became more confident. Sofia Z - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My Spanish improved drastically, and I enjoyed learning a lot of colloquial Spanish. As someone who wanted to go abroad for my Spanish major and for language acquisition purposes, it was definitely worthwhile! A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about culture and language but also a lot about myself. I think it was worthwhile. Kiera B - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My experience abroad allowed me to gain an international lens and wider perspective on all issues. The experience of living with a host family was invaluable and the cultural and language immersion was key to my success, growth, and enjoyment during my time.

I learned how much fun living in Spain could be Karla Rodriguez - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I became much more fluent in Spanish and learned a lot about handling myself independently in a foreign country. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned I never want to live in Cordoba again, but it was a good thing to learn, very interesting to live in a foreign country especially with a host family because it makes you feel more integrated to the culture. Also my spanish improved a ton and I feel mostly fluent now, definitely worth it Ilana Tamir - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I depended my knowledge of Spanish, local Spanish culture and history, and my own self-confidence and global thinking. It was worthwhile in these senses, but who knows- I probably would have experienced the same things if I did another program somewhere else. The program was great but I just wasn't satisfied with my time in Spai... Juniper - Wellesley College View Entire Review
