perfect study abroad experience

Madrid was my first semester of two studying abroad and it was a great introduction to Spanish life. Everyone from Madrid is not from Madrid there is a great mix of different lifestyles and people. You can find English speakers there, but if learning Spanish it is worth connecting with people from the university. Like participating in the Buddy Program. I spend most of my time with my buddies and learned so much Spanish. The city has it all and so much more. It is also very easy to travel out from. The teachers and staff could have not been better.
