I learned so much and I experienced so much that I would do it over again in a heart beat. The Experience was definitely worthwhile and I don't regret a single thing. The journey helped me became a better individual and taught me that I have so much more to offer not just my family and friends, but the community and the world as...

That I can live abroad for a longer period later in my life. And ABSOLUTELY WORTHWHILE! Jenna S - Drake University View Entire Review
I learned that there is nothing to gain from being timid, that you learn best by pushing yourself into different situations. I gained friends that I want to keep for the rest of my life. Yes, I'd say that this was probably the most worthwhile semester of my life. Breanna C - Bennington College View Entire Review
Confidence and contentment in being alone. (not in a depressing sort of way) I just learned that to enjoy the moments walking to school and appreciate the way the sun hit the mountains. I learned that I love travel, but I also love my hometown. There are things about every location that are unique and beautiful. It was definite... Mollie K - Central College View Entire Review
So much about myself! I think that is the most important thing to get in touch with, too. A student - Morningside College View Entire Review
That there is an entire world out there ripe for the taking. Most worthwhile. gonzaloacorral - Texas Lutheran University View Entire Review
To say that my experience was worthwhile is an extreme understatement. I learned so much about the world and I learned how to be independent as well. There is no way I could ever get this experience elsewhere. Elizabeth Z - Valparaiso University View Entire Review
Independence and growth with friends. C.J. N - Hope College View Entire Review
It was fantastic except for the lack of accessible Spaniards. John W - Valparaiso University View Entire Review
It was totally worthwhile, if I could do it again, I wouldn't change a thing. It certainly opens your eyes to a different way of life, and I have found myself incorporating little things from Spain because I like the way they approach certain things, but I retained the way I do other things because I feel like I enjoy it my way ... Robert L - Austin College View Entire Review
I loved my experience so much. Alison E - Valparaiso University View Entire Review
Yes, I defintely would suggest it, even with all the ups and downs, you learn so much about yourself and others. I have become more independent, a better travler and more open to diferent life styles and attitudes. Newport E - Valparaiso University View Entire Review
The biggest component was the language-I used Spanish all the time and probably could have even used it more! It was SO worthwhile! I learned so much about myself, about Andalucian culture, and about the language itself. Kira R - Bradley University View Entire Review
I learned so much about myself that I can't even put it into words. It is this massive chunk of my life where I was very flexible and formative. Spain thought me more than just Spanish. It taught me how to live. I have barely left, and I already want to go back. drew.brandt11 - Texas Lutheran University View Entire Review
People are basically the same everywhere even if customs are different. And if you are open to adapt, you can make friends and look at living in a new way. Delaney D - Bennington College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself while I was abroad. But I learned just as much about the rest of the world. History has shaped Granada and Spain in very particular ways that I didn't expect, and that shaped my experience. Katie T - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
Soul-changing, life-changing. Amazing and indescribable. I loved being abroad. A student - Austin College View Entire Review
I became fluent in Spanish from being forced to speak it all of the time. In addition, I experienced a ton of different cultural experiences and met some incredible people. I miss it everyday and want to go back ASAP. Amy B - Valparaiso University View Entire Review
It was completely worthwhile. I've gained so much understanding of the world through being in Spain, as well as the travel opportunities I've taken advantage of throughout Europe. This is perfect for my future as an International Business major. Tyler H - Valparaiso University View Entire Review
YES. I learned a lot about Spain, but more importantly, about myself. On my flight back to America, I truly felt like a different person than the girl I was on the plane 4 months earlier headed to Spain. Liza P - DePauw University View Entire Review
Most definitely. Although I may not have improved my Spanish as much as I would have liked, the other things that I have learned about the world and myself have been just as rewarding. Suzanne K - Valparaiso University View Entire Review
Yes, here is a blog I wrote about my experiencees as far as culture and people are concerned: Do not ask yourself what the world needs, Ask yourself what makes you come alive. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive. -Harold Thurmon Whitmon Our Morocco Exchange host Alicia read us that quote during ... Alyssa S - Valparaiso University View Entire Review
Yes, it was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and how I behave when I'm outside my comfort zone. It also forced me to use the language on a daily basis, which I really appreciate. I'm sure I will draw upon my experiences here on a regular basis. I also plan to keep in touch with several friends I have made ... Janet P - Valparaiso University View Entire Review
About
Granada is a city at the intersection of two beautiful cultures. It is a jewel of Arab civilization on the Iberian Peninsula, as well as a modern city of 250,000 at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In the streets, you’ll see both mosques and 16th century cathedrals. At the dinner table with your host family, you’ll practice Spanish and hear their perspective on the city. Everywhere you go, you’ll see the harmonious blend of Islamic and Spanish cultures unique to southern Spain.
Central College Abroad in Granada is a language immersion program, combining coursework and time spent with the local population. By the end of the semester, you won’t be speaking classroom Spanish but the authentic language of the people.
