I enjoyed the instructors I had in my classes, I lived close to campus and liked that campus was in the heart of the city. The program was good at helping us adjust to life abroad and were always available if we needed help.

I would likely recommend CIEE study abroad in Spain to a friend because I have had amazing schedule flexibility, including day trips, and I was placed in great housing! I also love the courses offered.
