Commentaire personnel

Before coming to Madrid I already attended an intense spanish study in Costa Rica the summer before. Everyone at the university spoke english.. there were people there that spoke other languages, but I was rather disappointed that more spanish wasn't spoken around me. Likewise, there were mostly American students at the university that tended to stick together b/c of the unfamiliar surroundings. Likewise my roommates were American as well and we spoke mostly English in our apt. However, i feel that my roommates and I were challenged everyday- ordering pizza on the phone, grocery shopping (the products are different and in (spanish:) talking with our maid, going out for Tapas. I think living in the apt got us out in the community more -speaking spn- and the students who lived with families got most of their practice at home

Coming from GW, i felt that the courses were not up to college level. I felt like i was taking a bunch of high school courses again. But it was nice for the sample fact that, it made it easier to experience Madrid and the rest of spain, cause we had a lot of free time.

They only give a midterm and a final exam, and i don't believe that is a good system. There is no way to see how u are progressing through the courses, and half way through the semester is too late to fix problems.

If you have a semester to take electives.. do do study abroad. This school is great for only semester. It is very lax... which enables you to travel alot.

Dépenses habituelles

I spent less on food than at home because I had a meal plan that was pre-paid. Also in Spain you can get a soup/salad, dinner/lunch, and dessert for $7 US. (menu del dia!) as far as more $ on telephone, I was making international phone calls, where I didn't have to in the US. I also travled a lot more than I do in the States. The nightlife is more or less the same prices if not a little cheaper (depending on where you go out) in Madrid than in Boston.

Commentaire personnel

There were no big suprises. Just set your-self on a weekly budget and stick with it if you don't have a lot of extra cash. We had an excellent exchange rate when we were there, so my money went quite a bit further in Spain than it does in the U.S. if anything I spent a little less than I thought I was going to.
