Overall Experience
I learned to deal with other cultures and how it can be frustrating when things do not go the way you planned due to cultural differences. I improved my spanish skills and was able to travel and explore different cultures. It was a great overall experience just not a great internship experience. - Stonehill College View Entire Review
Yes. I learned a lot about the country as well as the people. I also improved my Spanish significantly. I made friends from all over Europe which is something I would not be able to do in the U.S. - SUNY - College at Brockport View Entire Review

I learned how to be a better person and to appreciate differences in cultures as opposed to being afraid or skeptical of the nuances - Presbyterian College View Entire Review
My Spanish improved a ton, and I got to experience a a culture that I never could have in the States. All my classes counted for something that mattered for my major, so I didn't lose any time while I was studying abroad. If I could go back to Spain I would do it in a heartbeat. - Xavier University View Entire Review

Studying in Madrid really was a brand new experience for me. It is eye-opening even for the most well rounded person to go and fully immerse yourself in a different culture and lifestyle. My language skills improved and I got to experience things I may not have the chance to see again. - Auburn University View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile. I wouldn't trade this educational and cultural experience for anything. - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
Most definitely. Want to go back. - Xavier University View Entire Review
Everything was fantastic, even the challenges. It all helped me to become the person I am today. I wouldn't trade it for anything, and I would recommend it to anyone!!! - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
