My Madrid summer with Adelante was amazing. As a graduate student, I was worried that this program wouldn’t be rigorous enough for me but I am happy to say I was wrong. My internship was so practical and, unlike in the U.S., I was given responsibility on projects and trusted with complex tasks that were presented to clients. My Spanish also improved more than I expected it to and now I feel comfortable talking to any Spanish speaker! Part of what drew me to Adelante is all the planning they do for you before you even set foot in the country. It was such a relief to not have to try to find housing or get an interview for the job I worked for. If you want to go abroad, experience a new culture and get a seriously good experience, Adelante is for you.
