Yes, it was a worthwhile trip. I learned about the culture and customs of another culture. It was amazing to compare the human interaction differences and similarities. Despite the language differences, people are more alike than you think. Sarah M - Kansas State University View Entire Review
I have learned a lot about the many differences between American/South American Spanish, and the Spanish of Castilla. The differences between both have increased my knowledge that I will eventually relay to my students as a Spanish teacher. Krista M - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I learned alot about people outside of America. While living with different people from different countries, I was able to get wellrounded experience. Boone K - Frostburg State University View Entire Review
I feel that I was greatly impacted by my experience abroad. It helped me gain greater self confidence and awareness. I now know so much more about the Hispanic world than I thought I did. I no longer confuse South American stereotypes with those of mainland Spain. I also have a greater appreciation for the diversity of the count... Roseanne G - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review

Definitely! It was a real awakening. I did miss the constitution and all the freedoms that I have here in the USA, but learning and living abroad was an awesome experience that every student should try. Kendra D - University of Texas Rio Grande Valley / UTRGV View Entire Review

My study abroad experience was absolutely worthwhile. I gained so much from it (besides a little bit of weight). I learned to relax and go with the flow, how important it is to make connections with your host family or people that are bending over backwards for you, a stronger American identity, more appreciation of my home univ...

It was worthwhile times 20! I gained knowledge of Spanish, independence, more confidence, much more wisdom. I would not have traded this trip for anything else. Samford really knows how to do these trips right, and another cliché one could add to this is, "You get what you pay for." Although these trips are pricey through Samfor...

My study abroad experience was totally worthwhile. I met new people, I experienced a new culture, I learned a new language, and I learned so much history at the same time. I encourage everyone to go to Spain because it is an experience that one will never forget. liecy - Samford University View Entire Review
About
The University of Salamanca which, in 2018, will celebrate its 800th Anniversary, is the oldest University in Spain and also one of the oldest in Europe. Its historic character led to its playing a stellar role during the Renaissance. In its lecture halls it led the development of the Spanish language and of international law. New visions of the economy during the dawn of capitalism coincided with traditional studies of theology. The University of Salamanca was present in the intellectual discussion which led to the justification of the conquest of the Native Americans but also of the rights of their people. Its vocation and momentum spread to the other side of the Atlantic, decisively contributing to the founding of American Universities. Its statutes as well as its faculty served as an unavoidable frameworks for them. This extroverted character, with the passage of time, was converted into a stamp of identity which outwardly projected its concern for the spread of Spanish as a Universal language and its desire for openness towards the world, its people and their problems. This legacy has turned into what is now one of the most International Universities in the world.
