"I can't begin to explain what I gained from this. My sense of self was enforced, and given a new facet. My host country became like my home country, and my friends became family.

Christine C Towson University
"I learned that being able to live in another country for 4 months is one of the most important and eye-opening things that a college student can do.

"I honestly have no complaints about this program or the city of Bilbao.
