By (political scince, Suffolk University) for

Suffolk University: Madrid - Suffolk University Madrid Campus

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I learned to enjoy life a little bit more and work to live not live to work.

Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

the wok load was fair but the school was very small

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

the experince was great!! I would of enjoyed a bigger program but still had a nice time

* Housing:

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

The apartments were really nice and it was nice to live with other students who spoke english and also Spanish and french. The neighborhood was a lot of fun and pretty safe.

* Food:

there was way too much pork for my liking

* Social & Cultural Integration:

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

There were two trips that we went on. One everyone went on the second one could be chosen out of three destinations.

* Health Care:

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

* Safety:

it was pretty safe just a couple of incidents

If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? Yes

Finances

* Money: How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

If applicable, to what degree did your living situation aid your language acquisition?

A Look Back

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? I would let them know to enjoy it to the fullest and dont forget to study. I think if students like small programs this is definitly a good choice.
