Dear Global Education Office:
My summer in Spain with the Duke in Spain program was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I wish I could pinpoint one event to sum up the trip, but that would be impossible. We traveled to many amazingly different places, each one adding…

Dear Global Education Office:
This summer I stayed in Madrid for 6 weeks with the Duke in Spain summer program. Though I have traveled before with my family, this trip marked my first visit abroad on my own. I initially went to Madrid in order to practice Spanish, but once I…

Dear Global Education Office:
Despite the blurriness of the photo, I hope it captures the excitement we felt in attending a Real Madrid game -- in Madrid itself! Perhaps the fact that I hadn't been to a professional football game before was a factor, but watching the game from our seats…

Dear Global Education Office:
During our trip to Asturias, we were given the opportunity to travel on horseback through the beautiful countryside of northern Spain. Although it would be quite cliché to pick this excursion as one of my favorite parts of the program, I have to do so anyway (but…

Dear Global Education Office:
My study abroad experience was phenomenal, and I strongly encourage each and every Duke student to take advantage of this opportunity.
I applied to the Duke in Spain program because I wanted the opportunity to really surround myself with the culture. I am fascinated by the Spanish…

Dear Global Education Office:
You might have heard the saying around campus "You Only Live Once", usually shortened to "YOLO", but since we were in Spain, we translated it to "Sólo Vives Una Vez" or "SVUV". (It's a little more difficult to say but just as much --or more-- fun.) So…

Dear Office of Study Abroad:
The night before my trip to Madrid, I was very anxious about the new experience before me and the new people that I would meet, but at the same time I was very excited about the next 6 weeks of my life. When I arrived to…

Dear Global Education Office:
This past summer I had an amazing time in Spain with the Duke in Spain program. Besides learning more about Spanish literature, art, and history in my classes that I took, I had an experience of a lifetime. While staying with a host family in Madrid, I…

Dear Global Education Office:
After six weeks in Madrid for the Duke in Spain program, I have returned home with numerous unforgettable experiences from being abroad. For one thing, I have tasted a variety of Spanish foods ranging from paella to croquetas. For another, I did many things that I had…

Dear Global Education Office:
My experiences in Madrid, Spain were unforgettable! Figuring out ways to adjust and to feel "at home" in a place where I was unfamiliar was initially very challenging. At the same time, I came to appreciate language and cultural differences. Living with a host family was also…

Dear Global Education Office:
¡Viva España! This photo is from a coastal overlook in Asturias, a northern principality of Spain. Before Duke in Spain, I imagined Spain as solely an urban country, but I soon found that in addition to the allure of cities like Madrid, the country had a plethora…

Dear Global Education Office:
In Spain, I knocked on the door of fluency, and was almost let in. I argued with Cervantes (he won). I attempted communication with grocers, street musicians, homeless people. I learned to crave gazpacho at every hour of the day. Traveling, it seems, is not just about…

Dear Global Education Office:
Caught and wonderfully entangled in Spain's rich history this summer, I have come to appreciate so much more about Spain's history and culture than I previously had. One particular highlight of my experience was our excursion to Asturias. Prior to visiting Asturias, I had never even heard…
