Final comments
I have not heard of any other programs exactly like Suffolk. This program takes the students on trips, provides them with a guide, has a set schedule, and at the same time is a very laid back, relaxing environment. The faculty wants to please you as much as possible and will do every thing they can to assure that you are having the ulitmate experience. I urge you to look in to Suffolk and if you choose to participate, you will realize you made the right choice.

Small place and small administration allow for a wory-free student life. They have been doing this for years and really have the system down.

Spain is fun. Plan to travel every weekend and see the whole country. Make sure you take advantage of every day of being there, once you leave you will be regret not seeing it all.

Personal comments
The RA in the Flora housing has such strict rules, he makes it almost impossible to feel liek an adult. We are treated as children. I dont like it. With out he current RA, I would be so much happier with hte housing situation. Also, we only have one computer. It is very slow.

I wish I would have known this was just to have fun - it is so laid back and that is OK but hey, I spent thousands of dollars on my education. I could have used that money to really have travelled and had fun in Spain and had plenty left over to take the courses in another college that really counted

If it wasn't in Madrid it would close. It is so small that it needs as many students as possible to keep open and so what they say isn't exactly true.

I heard that the Malaga trip is fun but real expensive. If you are rich and have a free year and want to get some college credits that really don't mean much, try Suffolk. If you want a more intense experience, look for a program with a more respected school
