Cultural - not academic

While studying abroad was the most amazing experience, if you're looking for a rigorously academic program, Suffolk Madrid is not for you. It was a good choice for me because I did not come prepared to take classes in all Spanish, so it's definitely a good alternative if you need an introduction to the Spanish language and prefer to take courses in English.

Suffolk is a TINY school - around 100 students, but a very smart, interesting, diverse selection of professors.
If you want to really learn Spanish but still live in Madrid - I suggest studying at Complutense or one of the other Spanish universities.
