25 WHAT STUDENTS SAY WHEN THEY RETURN This was hands down the best decision we have ever made! We learned a lot and also had the best time of our lives. Classes are much longer and more concentrated. Working with students from all over the world, is both challenging and rewarding. It is impossible to explain all the experiences you gain and things you learn from being able to fully immerse yourself in an entirely different culture I met people from over 20 countries, and keep in touch with most of them. We had a professor who explained the basics of the European Union and at the same time kept us updated on the events that were going on in Europe. It was an interesting week since the EU decided to bail out Spain. I felt like I was learning while history was in the making.
