- Fall Semester in Madrid Spain10/21/19
Madrid is a busy and bustling global city. Integration in Madrid was fun and taught me that I can live in a global city on my own. Madrid is extremely clean and safe. The metro is well organized and secured. I feel like one of the biggest strengths
about my program was that we were in the heart of a major European city, which meant that you could opt-in and out of whatever AIFS excursions or activities that you wanted, and still had the option to go out and explore on your own as well. There is ALWAYS something to do in Madrid. Similarly, I liked how my program was immersed into a Spanish University that had not only other students in study abroad programs similar to AIFS, but also other international students who chose Madrid as their study location. I chose to live in an apartment over a homestay and I wouldn’t change my decision because I got to live with not only other AIFS students but also a girl from Norway and a girl from Italy which was great.
