Could not have had a better abroad experience!

The CIEE Liberal Arts in Madrid program was easily one of the best decisions I made while in college. The site staff were the most welcoming group of people I could have expected. From the get-go they really made sure you felt at home in a new country. The program's homestay matching system set me up with a host mom who I still speak to this day (after almost two years!). The classes at Carlos III were very eye opening—especially the language classes, which surprised me. Being able to take classes with members of your cohort, other abroad programs, and Spanish students really allowed for diverse learning. I came out of this program with fluency, friends, and a love for Spain that has not faded.
