Yes, it was. I gained so much that is intangible that it's almost worthless to try and describe it here. It's a very personal experience. The one thing I would say is that it made me a more confident, expressive person and a lot less worried about the opinions of others. I think I'm just happier with life now.

My study abroad experience was completely worthwhile. I'd go back and do it all over again in a heartbeat. Rebecca C - Tufts University View Entire Review
It is cliche, but I did become more independent. I was incredibly worried about going abroad, but the only way to get over being worried is to just suck it up and go. And it turns out that there was nothing to worry about. khmoran - Tufts University View Entire Review
About
The Tufts-in-Madrid/Alcalá program, which includes living options in Madrid and Alcalá de Henares, is designed as a semester- or year-long program of academic study. The program is run jointly with Skidmore-in-Spain although Tufts represents 70% of participating students.
Situated in the center of the Iberian Peninsula, Madrid is one of the world’s most vibrant capital cities, offering international students a wealth of historical, architectural, and artistic treasures and the lifestyle of a modern, multicultural, and dynamic society. Alcalá de Henares is a beautiful medium-sized city about 22 miles northeast of Madrid. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1989, Alcalá is known for its exquisite historic renaissance buildings, a slower pace of life, and the warm and welcoming nature of its inhabitants. Students have the option of living in Madrid or in Alcalá. You do not need to make your location choice at the time of application, but when you consult with the resident director during on-campus interviews in the fall or spring. You may prefer Alcalá if you enjoy the occasional excitement of a big urban center but are looking for a smaller, more inclusive city and a more intimate group of peers. Regardless of where you choose to live, you will have access to all program resources in both locations. Ample public transportation connects Madrid and Alcalá and travel time between the two cities is approximately 40 minutes.
