I learned a lot about the Spanish language, culture, and history- not to mention valuable life skills. A student - Eastern Illinois University View Entire Review
I gained valuable immersion time with the language that I currently teach to high school students. A student - University of Maine - Orono View Entire Review
I learned an enormous amount by being exposed and immersed in the culture while in Spain. I gained insight and information about their culture that I would have never gotten to know and learn about without physically going there. It was definitely worthwhile! Stephanie W - Eastern Illinois University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself. It forced me to become very independent and I felt that I overcame a lot of challenges. I learned so much about the culture from my host mom and living it myself. It was very worthwhile. Aimee P - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I learned so much. More about Spanish culture, history and the language. I feel like I gained another perspective of the world, the thinking in Spain is different and I learned the different customs and social norms. It has changed me, and I don't necessarily mind the change. It showed me that there are so many beautiful places ... jlkmathis - Western Washington University View Entire Review

Worth every cent! A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
It was worthwhile. It really was. With a different director, this would have been one of the best experiences of my life. Of that I have no doubt. Joseph K - Western Washington University View Entire Review
Spanish confidence. The people were wonderful, and I will definately go back again Mora S - Western Washington University View Entire Review
Yes, but a different program would have been more beneficial. Arielle Y - Western Washington University View Entire Review
My experience was worthwhile because I learned to think from a different perspective as well as practiced my communication skills in the native language. Alyssa H - Kansas State University View Entire Review
I learned friendship skills, how to be more confident in myself, how to be okay with trying new foods, and more of the Spanish language! Everything was worthwhile there. Avery Norris - Eastern Illinois University View Entire Review
I learned a greater degree of independence and how far I have yet to go with my Spanish skills. It didn't discourage me to not always understand locals or classwork, but I feel more motivated than before to reach fluency and learn about/live in another Hispanic culture. Bailey Mitchell - Eastern Illinois University View Entire Review
I was able to practice and perfect my language skills so much. It was the best experience for me to learn. A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I learned to be more independent and I became so much more confident in myself. I gained so much knowledge about Spanish people, culture, and language. It was definitely worthwhile and I want to go back next year too! A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I learned how to think about Spanish--priceless A student - Western Washington University View Entire Review
Definitely worth while. I got to dip my feet into a new, beautiful culture that welcomed me with open arms. The experiences of being put outside my comfort zone is exactly what I needed to start me in the right direction of continuing my Spanish education. A student - Western Washington University View Entire Review
I learned how to adapt to a different lifestyle and culture, I learned how to speak a different language, and I met a lot of new great people who I will keep in contact with forever. Overall my experience abroad was very worthwile. A student - Western Washington University View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself, about the Spanish culture, and about traveling internationally alone. It was more than worthwhile! I wish I didn't have to come home. A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the culture, and gained a lot of friends. Definitely worthwhile. A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Yes. I learned a lot about the culture, and was able to become fluent in the language. I saw some of the most amazing things that I wouldn't have experienced if I had not gone on the trip, and was able to really see what Spain was like. Samantha G - Western Washington University View Entire Review
I gained knowledge of the Spanish language and how to be respectful in a country that's not your own. Also, how it feels to have a language barrier and being completely lost. Back in the U.S. I have gained patience for those studying abroad at my own university. In the future I want to return to Europe to continue my voyage. Sarah V - Western Washington University View Entire Review
This trip was extremely worthwhile. I became more comfortable and more fluent in my Spanish, and I learned a great deal about Spanish people, food, and culture. I gained a new perspective of the world as well and recognized how much I take for granted as being universal when it's not. Allee M - University of North Dakota View Entire Review
About
The University of Salamanca which, in 2018, will celebrate its 800th Anniversary, is the oldest University in Spain and also one of the oldest in Europe. Its historic character led to its playing a stellar role during the Renaissance. In its lecture halls it led the development of the Spanish language and of international law. New visions of the economy during the dawn of capitalism coincided with traditional studies of theology. The University of Salamanca was present in the intellectual discussion which led to the justification of the conquest of the Native Americans but also of the rights of their people. Its vocation and momentum spread to the other side of the Atlantic, decisively contributing to the founding of American Universities. Its statutes as well as its faculty served as an unavoidable frameworks for them. This extroverted character, with the passage of time, was converted into a stamp of identity which outwardly projected its concern for the spread of Spanish as a Universal language and its desire for openness towards the world, its people and their problems. This legacy has turned into what is now one of the most International Universities in the world.
