A Great Experience
September 19, 2013by: Bianca DaskalProgram: API: Experience Madrid, Spain (Scholarships Available)
I loved my experience here in Madrid. I have learned so much during this month and I would recommend others to study abroad with API. My host mom was wonderful and my teachers were great as well. Madrid has so much to offer. Students especially La Plaza de Toros, the food and night life. API is a great program.
If You're Considering Studying Abroad, Do It!
September 19, 2013by: AnonymousProgram: API: Experience Madrid, Spain (Scholarships Available)
This program was an amazing experience! Not only did I get to learn a different language from my classes but also from everyday life - getting a taxi, ordering a meal or getting hit on a at a bar! It was the perfect balance of fun and learning! Chance of a lifetime.
Viva Madrid!

This has been one of the best experience I've ever had, Madrid is wonderful. The people are wonderful and I know I will leave with the more cultural growth than when I came!

My twin sons had an interest in fashion and were applying to colleges. We felt that the API program would support and grow that interest. After researching and speaking with API representatives, we felt confident that this program would help our sons decide more about the fashion industry and art in general.
