When was the last time you have been to Spain?

What do you enjoy most about Spain?
- I have never had the opportunity to visit Spain, but I look forward to the experience.

What do you think are the advantages of Spain as a destination for American students?
- Spain is an ideal study location for American students for many reasons, but for the purpose of this interview I will only name a few. First, the opportunity to have a full language immersion experience, which is so important for language majors in order to grasp the nuances of a second language. Second, students see Spain as the gateway or starting point of their international adventure. Not only do they get to experience the culturally rich and unique traditions of Spain, but they have easy access to Europe and North Africa.

Could you describe the Study Abroad programs your university has with Spain?
- Presbyterian College has exchange partnerships with three universities in Spain for both semester and year long programs. Presbyterian College also hosts several short term faculty led trips each year and Spain is one of the most popular destinations.

How satisfied are, in general, American students going/studying in Spain?
- Spain is a very popular study desination for our students and they always return with positive experiences and desire to return to Spain the in future.
