I learned a new language, a culture, a ton about myself, adaptibility skills and much more. It was VERY worth it! A student - Austin College View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself, the Spanish culture, and about Europe. It was definitely worth it. Diana T - Austin College View Entire Review
I can speak spanish a lot better and easier, I made a lot of new friends because I went without knowing anyone. It forced me to make new friends. Also, living with a host family was great because I got to eat the cultural foods and learn about a spanish family from the inside and learn about how they carry on their day. Madeleine P - Austin College View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile. I became more independent, self-confident, cultured, open-minded, grateful of what I have back home and what I was able to experience in Seville, and definitely more fluent in Spanish. brittany - Eastern College View Entire Review
It was definitely an experience that I believe every student should have. I had the semester of a lifetime in Spain. By the end of my stay, I didn't have the heart to leave the city and only returned home with promising to come back again. I learned a lot about the type of person I am and the type of person I would like to be. B... A student - Austin College View Entire Review

YES! Kayla K - Ithaca College View Entire Review
YES!!! My mind was in stretched in ways I did not know possible, and the experiences that stretched it I will remember for the rest of my life. Adapting to a different way of life was so good for me; I truly don't think I could enter adulthood with such confidence without this experience. Arden C - Hollins University View Entire Review
I learned that other countries have different views on customer service and getting the most for your money. I learned a lot about the Spanish culture and my Spanish improved some. I plan to continue with my Spanish minor. Jessica S - Texas Christian University View Entire Review
I gained so many new understandings and feel like I improved myself as a person immensely. My communication skills are so much better because of the foreign language aspect of my experience and I am much more willing to try new things and test my boundaries. Going abroad has made me so curious about the rest of the world and has... Shelley C - Austin College View Entire Review
I learned how to be on my own and I learned how to work with being uncomfortable a lot of the time. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - Austin College View Entire Review

I became much more comfortable with myself. And it WAS worthwhile. Joe_6939 - Austin College View Entire Review

It was everything I wanted and more. It wasn't always absolutely perfect, but I would definitely go back and do it all again!

Rachel S - Texas Christian University View Entire Review
