Aside from all the material I learned in my classes and all the experiences I acquired while traveling across Europe, I became a more independent and confident person. It was very worthwhile. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned to get out of my comfort zone and to not compromise my goals. I could have been friends with other American students but I went out of my way to make as many international friends as possible. Now I have connections in almost every European country and Australia. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
A student studying abroad with Universidad Pontificia Comillas de Madrid: Madrid - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
One of the most important things I gained was greater insight into the way people from other countries viewed the US. Because the primary elections were taking place during my semester abroad, it was very interesting to learn what people from other countries thought on the matter. Additionally, I was able to learn what other int... - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

Past Review Amazing
The experience was definitely worthwhile. Prior to going abroad I had decent Spanish skills and understanding, but I was always too afraid to speak Spanish aloud, so studying abroad in Spain forced me to speak Spanish all the time and improved my Spanish and confidence! Also, the chance to travel to other countries while you a... - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

Past Review Surprising!
Going abroad, most of all, allowed me to explore not only the Spanish culture, but other European cultures as well. In the program there were many students from Europe, and it was interesting to be able to share different perspectives and experiences with them. By being abroad I also had the opportunity to improve my Spanish ski... - Bentley University View Entire Review

Apart learning the content taught in lectures, I learned to be able to adapt to surroundings and customs of others. It was definitely worthwhile and made the experience so much better. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned a lot about how other people live and about different cultures. Unfortunately, I felt really stiffled in my program because it was so difficult to make friends either American or Spanish. I think if we are not forced to take classes in Spanish, then we should go through a program like Syracuse because then you are wit... - Bentley University View Entire Review
I learned how to be independent and how to adapt to a foreign country. I learned how to enjoy my own company and realize that I can enjoy traveling by myself. I also learned not to go into any situations with expectations, because regardless of if it's better or worse than you expected, it's never going to be what you thought it... - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

Past Review Take Me Back
I grew as a person - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It was worthwhile, for sure. Classes taken in Spanish are way harder then taking Spanish language classes. Think twice about that. - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I met lots of people from many different countries and had the opportunity to travel in Europe. I also got to experience another culture and be completely on my own. I would definitely recommend studying abroad! I enjoyed Madrid but I was ready to move on after a few months, so I think a program that takes place in a few differe... - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
