Looking at my certificate from the University of Salamanca, my time there has already begun to feel like a dream. Still in touch with many of my classmates, social media allows me to reach cross the world and stay connected to everyone that has made my time there so special. I still follow the IES program on Facebook and looking at the photos of the second summer session makes me want to jump on a plane and fly back there. Now approaching my final year of college, I feel much less stressed about completing my Spanish major. While my school provides a lot of assistance in reading comprehension there’s nothing like being right in the middle of the action that inspires confidence. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in not only improving their fluency but also participating in a life changing experience.
