What to Know About Studying Abroad in Madrid by Alexei Koseff
2010 Transitions Abroad Student Writing Contest Winner!
Breaking with every college plan I had previously imagined for myself, I decided at the end of my freshman year that, to get the most out my college experience, I really wanted to study abroad as a sophomore. At Stanford University, we have a remarkable study abroad program with 11 foreign campuses, including two in Spanish-speaking countries: one in Santiago, Chile and the other in Madrid, Spain. Wanting an opportunity to improve my Spanish, which was not getting as much use as I wanted in college, and drawn to the opportunity to live and travel in Europe, I chose to apply to the program at Madrid..

Studying French in France by Sharon Goldstein
Once you decide to study French in France, the hardest part is deciding which program to enroll in and where. Numerous programs are available in all parts of the country. You need to decide if you want to attend school in a large city, a small town, or the countryside. Each offers distinct advantages. A city offers more choices in terms of cultural activities, restaurants, and so forth. Small towns provide a better opportunity to interact with people and get a feel for the local culture. The countryside may provide more opportunities for outdoors activities.
