The Madrid status so far..

Unique, that is one way (among many more) that I could describe the atmosphere here in Madrid. From the moment I stepped foot on the Suffolk Campus here, the friendly Madrid people have shown me nothing but a smile. Even Madrid itself has been smiling, with its great nightlife and its beautiful parks and cafes. I can’t forget Madrid’s lively downtown area, where I’ve found a lot of places where I can enjoy myself. From day one with our Salamanca orientation excursion, to our excellent excursion a week ago to the heart of the Portuguese capital, Lisboa, everything has been enjoyable. I have been meeting new people, making a ton of friends, and even - believe it or not - SPEAKING SPANISH. I’ve had lots of new experiences during the past two months, and I am loving every Spanish moment of it.
