Studying in regards to the tradition and historical past of Spain whereas with the ability to expertise it firsthand was one thing very unimaginable, particularly with the ability to dwell with host households and seeing a glimpse of what life was like for them in Spain. The varsity we attended for our courses, Estudio Sampere, was a small however snug college, being located close to the lifetime of town, Plaza Mayor, and total being a superb college to study Spanish at. The professors on the college had been very efficient within the methods they’d educate their classes, with the ability to bridge the language barrier hole and make every class day fulfilling. Usually, these similar professors can be our tour guides for after college actions round Salamanca, taking us to completely different cultural websites and museums.

Whether or not it was a live performance, a stunt efficiency, fireworks, or a easy evening out together with your fellow classmates, Salamanca had a lot to supply and didn’t disappoint. As somebody who was initially anxious about coming into right into a research overseas program for the primary time, I can certainly say that this expertise I had in Spain has actually opened my eyes for the higher, with the ability to broaden my view on the world and uncover extra about myself, in addition to inspiring me to hunt out different research overseas alternatives sooner or later. – Richard, SPC Spain Research Overseas Program, June 2023
