it was definitely worthwhile. I became much more independent and learned how to problem solve on my own. I also learned how to make new friends quickly in an unfamiliar setting. Payten S - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself and what I really want out of life. All the ups and downs of the trip were completely worth it! casey.garner93 - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

It was so worth while- I gained incredible perspective on how the rest of the world functions, as it is much different than in the United States. Jamie S - University of Maine at Orono View Entire Review
My experience abroad enabled me to have a wide perspective of the world. I was able to experience different cultures around Europe and learn from them. Gerardo R A - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It was very worthwhile. I tried to get out and meet people and speak the language and I did. I learned how to travel and live on a budget. I gained a great appreciation for the life I live in America, as well as the life I lived abroad. Gabe D - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I learned a lot about how big the world really is and how to expand my horizons and be open-minded towards new people and places. I saw a different type of culture that reminds me to be appreciative and loving towards my family and how money isn't everything. Grace A - University of Tennessee - Knoxville View Entire Review
YES! This was the best thing I've ever done with my life. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. This program has increased my love for the Spanish language and culture even more than before. I didn't even know that was possible! Cheryl L - Roosevelt University View Entire Review
After studying in Granada, I learned to adapt and become more accepting of different people. I made close friendships, and still keep in touch with those friends today. I learned so much about the Spanish culture, and am in love with anything and everything Spanish now. My time abroad was the time of my life. I wouldn't chan...

I feel like I have a much better understanding of people and cultures. I changed a lot. I'm a better person than i was before. Kristen F - University of Arkansas - Fayetteville View Entire Review
My experience opened up my eyes. I can now see beyond my university and beyond the United States to a whole world that I didn't truly realize was there. It has given me a deeper understanding of other cultures and a greater desire to treat everyone despite what background they have with respect and kindness. I have future plans ...

Well, it helped my Spanish a mountain. I think it showed me that the American way of life is in no way the only way of life. William M - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I felt so lost. Spaniards are vain, blunt, and rude. I had the hardest time connecting with Spaniards, and I don't think I'll go back to Spain. Sara S - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

Definitely worthwhile; improved cultural knowledge, language proficiency and learned more about myself all while traveling the world. Morgan H - Drake University View Entire Review
While I was abroad I learned so much about myself and others. It really gave me a lot of respect to foreigners who struggle with their English. I made so many friends both American and Spanish. A student - Western Michigan University View Entire Review
It was the most amazing experience of my life. I learned how much I take for granted in the United States, but more importantly how much my priorities have changed since being abroad. I now value family and friendships more than work and materialistic things. A student - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It was the most worthwhile experience I have ever had. I am already looking into going abroad again this coming year. Andrea D - Marywood University View Entire Review
This experience was life-changing. I have talked with my American friends that I made through my program while being back in the states and we have all talked about how we have changed. and it's not necessarily something you can put into words. But living in a foreign country is something that not many people get to do. And l... Taylor L - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I was able to improve my Spanish language skills, learn to adjust to new situations and I made new best friends. It made me more aware of other cultures and made me want to experience other cultures. The history of Spain and the beauty of it made me appreciate every day that I was there. I wouldn't have wanted a different experi... Samantha D - University of Florida View Entire Review
This experience is something I will remember forever, and I would never take it back for anything. It was so incredible, that I feel there are no words that I could place on the experience that would justify how wonderful it was. I feel so much more culturally aware and appreciative and the semester in Spain helped me determine ... Aliza S - Clark University View Entire Review
Yes, I gained an understanding for my culture and language. It has helped me want to practice spanish all the time and learn multiple languages as well. Daniel Z - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Exceeded my expectations. My only regret is that I wish I would have done a year. Caroline D - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
my experience was absolutely worthwhile. I learned a lot of Spanish, made some really great friends, and, as with any experience abroad, I expanded my knowledge of new cultures and hopefully gained a little wisdom along the way. Erin H - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
For my career goals I'm still heading the same path. But study abroad had gave me an opportunity to hang out with people that I usually don't see myself with. William C - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
