Great experience. I was able to integrate into the culture but because my program was all Tufts students so I tended to stay with them. I had a great host family who helped me improve my Spanish. But I wish more effort was made to introduce us to more native people. Classes were easy but very differently organized. Read more

Most incredible program -- the staff is absolutely delightful and a reason to go without all the other wonderful aspects. This is a great location since you have a more "home" feeling in Alcala, but it is still a city and a short ride to Madrid. People were so friendly and always willing to speak Spanish with you and not switch into English. Don't go anywhere else -- this is the best!!! Read more

The Tufts in Alcala program is so well run and the people who run it really help you and ease the process of integration. In a new country/culture. Alcala de Henares is a great "college town" -- the university comprises the center part of the city -- and you really get a sense of living a more a more traditional Spanish life (as opposed to living in Madrid). The program and place are wonderful and I recommend it to everyone. Read more
