Fundación José Ortega y Gasset

As one could imagine, staying in a dorm of sorts means you are living with others who speak English. Therefore, you may be speaking English with your peers outside the classroom. But, you certainly get to meet a lot of people in the same situation as you are and make friends you will possibly return home with after the program. On the other hand, staying with a family in Toledo means speaking Spanish a lot more. It would definitely help one's language skills. Also, you would get to see how a family in Spain lives. That alone may be enough reason to do a home stay. But, you would not be spending as much time as you may eventually want to spend with others on the trip you have classes with. Also, staying with a family may mean staying far away from the school and the where everyone hangs out.

Spain is not an expensive country.

I wish I would have thought about all aspects of being abroad. I went to study and did not think of anything else. Luckily I was able to adapt and blend in while in Spain.

GO GO GO!!!! The classes are not very difficult and classes are only four days a week so you can travel around Spain three days a week. Although Toledo is small, the nightlife is fine. The nightlife is great if you are only there four days a week. Stay with a family or a dorm, does not matter. Enjoy the Spanish people, food, and culture.
