My semester in Spain was the best a few months of my life Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

I learned so much during my semester in Spain. The only thing I would change is to stay longer!

On-site administration of your program

There is always someone available in the office. They also provide phone numbers for emergencies. I liked knowing that help was always available if I needed it (I didn't).

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I lived with a family in an apartment in Madrid. Two of their sons still lived at home and their grandson would visit often. There was always something going on. I loved my living arrangement. <br /><br /> My family helped me so much, I think my semester would have suffered had I not lived with them.

My host mom made a huge delicious lunch every single day. The food was different, but not in a bad way.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

I loved being able to travel. I was gone almost every single weekend. The only problem is that I didn't spend enough time in madird!

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Madrid was so safe. Obviously, I needed to be careful, but rarely did I ever feel uncomfortable. I felt safe enough to ride the metro alone at night. There are always people out, so I never needed to really worry.

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

I spoke too much English outside of the classroom, but I also did improve. I know that if I spent more time in Spain, my Spanish would only get better.
