Yes, I learned a lot of resilience and made friends within my program. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
One of my favorite parts of the program was the language immersion. My Spanish improved so much, and I am much more confident using the language now. I made some local friends and friends from around the US that I plan on keeping in touch with. A student - Kenyon College View Entire Review
Improved my language skills quite a bit but otherwise got little to nothing out of the experience academically. Probably worthwhile A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Study abroad was very worthwhile. I gained independence, adaptability, cultural awareness, appreciation for art from another perspective, significantly better casual language use. The Middlebury program with the language pledge was particularly important to me. A student - Kenyon College View Entire Review
Yes, very worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and was able to practice independence and time management while living alone, traveling alone, and being pushed out of my comfort zone to meet people and make new friends in a foreign language. I gained a lot of confidence in my independence. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review

I learned a lot from this experience, both good and bad. My language skills definitely improved.

Language improvement. A new sense of autonomy and ability to be independent Nicolas Plume - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Being in an apartment, I learned how to live on my own. It was worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Advanced Spanish skills + real life experience (what to do if you get stranded in a foreign country without a phone?) A student - Kenyon College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the way I function, and I learned to adapt to a very different style of education. I would say it was worthwhile, because I got to see so much and meet so many amazing people. Grace M - Bennington College View Entire Review
It was worthwhile, but I didn't learn that much because Europe felt similar enough to the US. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Very worthwhile. I learned a lot A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I feel that I grew a lot as a person, while improving my Spanish. I am now more independent and resilient. I had never been so far outside my comfort zone before, so learning how to navigate daily life in Spain has given me a newfound self-confidence. Furthermore, I had the incredible opportunity to travel more than I ever had i... A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review

Independence, new friends, language skills Michael S - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I definitely developed more solid language skills as well as made friendships with many international students. I do think it was worthwhile to live abroad--it opens a lot of doors and creates so many unique experiences. You're introduced to so many interesting people from different backgrounds. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Yes! I had so much fun exploring a new place and learning about a different culture. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I gained language skills and independence from my experience abroad and got to see lots of amazing things. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
My experience abroad was worthwhile because I had other friends in my program and in Europe and because I learned a great deal about myself and what I want for my future, but not because of the university i was studying at or the academic courses I was taking. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
My language improved vastly, so in that respect yes. A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
About
Designed for students with advanced Spanish language proficiency, the Middlebury School in Spain offers a fully immersive academic and cultural experience in the historic city of Córdoba. Through direct enrollment at the Universidad de Córdoba, students take courses alongside Spanish peers across a broad range of disciplines taught entirely in Spanish. Guided by the Middlebury Language Pledge, participants strengthen their language skills through daily interaction in the classroom, with host families, and throughout the local community.
Located in the heart of Andalucía, Córdoba is a vibrant city of approximately 300,000 residents where centuries of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish influence have shaped a rich cultural and architectural heritage. Once one of medieval Europe's greatest centers of learning, the city is home to remarkable landmarks including the Mezquita-Catedral, the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos, and the remains of a Roman temple. Today, Córdoba combines its extraordinary history with the energy of a modern university city, offering lively plazas, bustling cafés, acclaimed restaurants, and a thriving arts and student culture.
The Universidad de Córdoba is recognized for its strengths in fields including art history, psychology, history, religious studies, biology, and philology. With campuses that blend contemporary facilities and historic surroundings, the university provides an engaging academic environment where students gain both disciplinary knowledge and a deeper understanding of Spanish society. Together, Córdoba's rich cultural legacy and welcoming atmosphere make it an exceptional setting for language acquisition, academic exploration, and meaningful cultural immersion.
