"I chose Madrid because I wanted to improve my Spanish in one of the most immersive environments available. The city is absolutely incredible, and I relished the opportunity to explore Spain as well as other areas of Europe. I’d recommend that students who choose to study in Madrid pay a lot attention to the events going on around the city, there’s always some kind of social or cultural occasion taking place. Also don’t be too preoccupied with taking trips outside your host country! Spain is so diverse and rich in culture/history that you’d be silly to not want to explore it all!" - William Baker, Senior International Studies major, Spring 2018 U of A Exchange: Universidad Nebrija, Madrid
"I
chose to study Abroad in Salamanca, Spain, so that I could be immersed in the
language and experience life as a Spaniard. The laid-back culture taught me to
slow down and appreciate every day. I improved my Spanish by making
conversation with the Spaniards living in my residence, with my host parents,
and with locals in shops and cafes. Overall, I loved experiencing a culture so
different from my own! For students considering studying in Spain, I would
definitely advise them to weigh the benefits and deficits of the different
living situations. I found that living with a host family you have much less
privacy and independence than living in a residence. They should also consider
what size city to stay in; Salamanca was small and comfortable, whereas Madrid
is busy and more difficult to get around!" - Audrey Still, Senior Business Management major, Fall 2018 API in Salamanca, Spain: Universidad de Salamanca, International Studies and Business
