I gained an understanding of a different culture and confidence with my second language. After living with a family for four months and only speaking Spanish I found myself naturally gaining new vocabulary and gaining confidence to interact more with people in my second language. Ashley F - Wisconsin Lutheran College View Entire Review
For sure!! I learned a lot about the Spanish language and Culture. And I love it! I can't wait to go back. Salamanca will always have a special place in my heart. I decided to bump up my Spanish minor to a major after this experience and came back with a passion for travel and other cultures. Dawn B - Saginaw Valley State University View Entire Review
My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile. I learned an immense amount about myself. While I used to see myself as a kind of jet-setter, throughout my time in Salamanca, I discovered that I value my home community just as much as my global community. I found a degree of resilience and patience that I hadn't before see... Ricci W - Anderson University View Entire Review
an understanding of other cultures and how different they are from my own and qualities such as being more simple in living. i loved how family was so important in salamanca, how it is a slower pace of life and i would love to visit more spanish speaking countries for mission work now that i know a decent amount of the language....

Spaniards: Always Late, But Still Freakin' Great! Definitely The Most Influential Time Of My Life.
Let's put it this way, after I came back, my entire life goals had changed. I am currently in the field of international education, even though my BSBA was in Finance. I feel so much more aware of the cultures, politics, and general life-style of Spaniards, as well as Europeans in general. I, hands down, want to stay in the fiel...

It was such a great worthwhile experience. I feel like i was slightly transformed over there. I definitely learned to appreciate all the ammenties and convenience of the US while still wishing I could live in Europe. My future plans have changed a little bit because I am now heavily considering teaching english over in europe or... Tyler M - University of Denver View Entire Review
Salamanca will forever be one of the biggest parts of who I am. The worst part about Salamanca is having to come home at the end of the program! Studying in Salamanca was the best choice I've ever made. I have lots of international friends and American friends from this experience. I have gone to visit American friends in USA...

Yes, I loved every minute of it. It was worth every penny I spent. I will always love the time I spent in Spain and all the friends I made there. Megan P - Ohio Northern University View Entire Review
The things I achieved while I was studying in Spain made all the challenges worth it. I know more about myself and what I'm capable of. I enjoy having heightened cultural awareness. I read more international news and more news in Spanish now. I fell in love with the city of Salamanca and hope to go back someday. Julia Page M - Carlow College View Entire Review
I started to understand just how huge the world is, and the insignificance of a single person. Living in a city for the first time was initially a challenge but after getting accustomed to my surroundings I loved the hustle and bustle of a living city. Emily M - New England College View Entire Review
My experience abroad impacted me perhaps more than most people in the program. I did not "hang out" with the Americans in my group, but ventured off to have friends from Spain. Due to this, I learned immensly about the culture and really lived like a Spaniard for the 5 months I was there. It impacted my life deeply because I was...

Independence, understanding of different cultures, new friends, ability to adapt to a new environment, memories! Megan F - University of Denver View Entire Review
My experience in Spain was very rewarding. It was truly an experience that I will never forget. I cannot even begin to explain how much I learned while abroad. It was an experience that I take for granted everyday, especially the people that I met while I was there. My host family really helped me with my Spanish speaking skills...

I LOVED STUDYING ABROAD. It was the best decision I've ever made. I am so much more in touch with who I am and what I want out of life...being away really forces you to focus on that because you can be whoever you want to be. This experience also helped me to overcome any sort of timidity about meeting new people and trying n... Emily H - University of Denver View Entire Review
