My experience abroad gave me friends around the world, insight on new cultures, and the ability to learn about myself and to grow and evolve.

I really became fluent in Spanish while I was there, and and it made me more willing to try new things and go out of my comfort zone Alissa D - Grand Valley State University View Entire Review
My Spanish jumped up in all aspects. From listening to speaking. Coming back from the program...was a bummer because it felt like I was leaving so much behind. I made a lot of good friends and we are still in contact today. People always say to make the best of a situation. If you try or not this program will make the best ... Nathan B - Western Illinois University View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was worthwhile for sure. I learned so much not only by taking classes abroad but by living abroad, meeting new people, seeing different parts of the world and going out of my comfort zone. I have always been aware of cultural differences but now I have a better understanding of a culture other than my ... Kristen B - Bridgewater State College View Entire Review

The most important thing I gained from my experience was confidence. I learned that I am capable of leaving behind a comfortable lifestyle and thriving in an unknown environment. I learned much about how I communicate with people, and gained the confidence to make lasting friendships quickly and easily. Summed up, I gained the ...

There's a sense of confidence and independence you gain while studying abroad and figuring your way around a foreign country that can't be replicated. This was one of the best decisions I've made in my entire college career. A student - University of Georgia View Entire Review
My language skills greatly improved as well as my view of the world. Nothing can possibly be the same. I would recommend study abroad to almost anyone. steven w - Pittsburg State University View Entire Review
Yes. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I learned so much about myself in such a challenging, yet fun environment. I made great friends in such a short amount of time and there is nothing I would change. Courtney S - Longwood University View Entire Review
I feel that I understand better how different societies work. This trip imprinted into me how much more I want to travel in the future. My experience was amazing. Leah H - University of North Carolina - Charlotte View Entire Review
I loved being abroad but I dont know if I could ever really live that far away from everyone I love and family. It was hard and towards the end when you start missing all the hollidays it gets harder. I loved how my spanish evolved quiker than I ever thought possible and Spain will always have a special place in my heart. Marci L - Seattle University View Entire Review
Every day abroad was the best day of my life. I wish I could rate this more than 5 stars. My study abroad experience changed my life and changed me as a person for the better--I am so much more independent than I once was; I am more self-sufficient than I ever could have though I would be. I met some of the most incredible frien... Valerie S - Siena College View Entire Review
YES! I absolutely fell in love with the city, and know that I will be back someday, as more than just a student or tourist. I know that I definitely want to incorporate the spanish language into my career in someway or another. It brought out a desire in me to continue my travels and explore other cultures as well. Olivia R - University of Massachusetts Amherst View Entire Review
The entire experience was great! Even after a rocky start by accidentally ending up in the wrong level course, the program was able to help me find the right class for my skill level and after that, everything seemed to take care of itself. Rob L - Texas A&M - Tarleton State University View Entire Review
I learned so much and still think back on my experiences all the time. I would love to go back and live in Spain because the people, culture, history and experience were unbelievable. Katie H - University of Nebraska- Lincoln View Entire Review
