It was extremely worthwhile. I improved my Spanish, made lifelong friends, grew as a person and as a student and learned things about myself in the process. Jacqueline B - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I improved my Spanish speaking skills dramatically and made life long friends. You really learn how to live independently and get things done by yourself. I learned so much about myself and others that it was definitely worthwhile! tiffunknee - Wellesley College View Entire Review

Growth. Sanity. Support from a network of new friends, program staff and host family. A host of new experiences. Fearlessness. Ability to use public transportation in a number of countries. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Oh, it was positively worthwhile and I learned a lot. I gained international experience and some new friends. I learned a lot about a new culture and a little about a lot of other new cultures. I can speak Spanish well now. I'm proud of myself. Kate C - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Learned about Spanish culture/history. It was nice to spend an extended period of time in a place that's not the most touristy place in Spain. Cordoba has a long and interesting history, and you can see it in its infrastructure. It was worthwhile. maanika - Wellesley College View Entire Review

My Spanish improved! I think it was a worthwhile opportunity to be more independent. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It changed my whole outlook on planning for the future. I'm interested in finding joy in whatever I do now instead of constantly preparing for an end goal and working too hard to see what's going on in the moment. Absolutely worthwhile. Lucie L - Wellesley College View Entire Review

So many things about myself....but really that the world is such a big place...i also learned the influence of America, it was shocking A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to be fearless. I came in barely knowing Spanish and I lived with a host family that barely knew any English. I had to learn how to communicate using very limited resources. The lessons I have learned from my study abroad have been instrumental to how I operate in social settings now. I feel confident in my abilit... Lavanya G - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My semester abroad was definitely my best semester so far! My Spanish improved so much, and now I feel much more confident in my speaking ability, which was something I was shaky on before. I think planning trips around Europe for myself and my friends really taught me a lot about myself. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I improved my Spanish language skills, learned that I'm capable of a lot of things, problem solving, how to manage money and look for deals, and that there are different ways of living from my own. YES. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

It made me a better happier person. You should travel a lot around the rest of Europe! Claire I M - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned to be even more open-minded regarding other peoples' political/social views. I learned to embrace new experiences and to speak Spanish more fluently. I gained so many new friends from my experience abroad and learned so much about Spanish history, culture and family life. It was definitely a worthwhile experience. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Spanish culture and Spaniards and I would not trade the experience fir anything. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned to be independent. I learned how to deal with racism, subtle and blatant. I improved my Spanish comprehension. I learned how to navigate/explore a city. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Although I think I would chose a different program I did enjoy my experience abroad. My language skills improved drastically and being thrown into a foreign environment gave me a sense of confidence and accomplishment. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
