STUDENT VOICES

"A really great experience. Probably the best undergraduate study abroad program available in Spain."

-Jared Mueller, Trinity '09

"The program was fantastic! The program coordinators were incredible and everything was so well organized and I loved my host family. This was definitely my best semester of college. I liked that everyone did a homestay, so there was no division among program participants, that all of our classes were in Spanish and that we were able to take a class through San Pablo CEU, and that the program was relatively small, so I could get to know everyone and we could go on field trips as a group."

-Libby Copeland-Halperin, Williams College - Fall 2007

"Choosing to study abroad with the Duke in Madrid program was one of the best decisions of college so far. I had an incredible semester in Spain, due mainly to the amazing Duke in Madrid staff and program. The team in Madrid is friendly, organized, and have so many opportunities and resources. The program trips and activities were some of my favorite memories from the semester."

-Mhoire Murphy, Trinity '09
