"Yes, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I learned differences between cultures, how to open up and interact with locals and I increased my language skills at least enough to get by. I just wish there was more emphasis on the language. I met people from other programs and they had at least 10-20 hours of language. "

"It was an amazing experience and absolutely worth while. I learned how to adapt to a new culture in a short period of time and my Spanish-speaking skills improved dramatically, but I believe there are other places in Spain that I could have gone to, in which I would have had more opportunities to work on my Spanish.

"I definitely loved studying abroad, especially here in Nantes. No one speaks English like in Paris and my host family was great. The university was fun and I made good French friends.
