Fall 2023 Participant
Don't expect it to be the same education as KU. You will need to be okay and comfortable with change and things that are unknown. But once you embrace unfamiliarity, everything is amazing!

Spring 2022 Participant
My favorite part of this program was living with a host family. They were wonderful people and they taught me a lot about Spain.

Patrick Joseph Shreve, Spring 2018 Participant
My favorite part of this program was the way in which Comillas connected all of the study abroad students. From the first orientation and throughout the year, they offered opportunities for foreign students to get to know the city, take trips together, and go to language exchanges in which students from around the city gather and learn languages from eachother in local bars.
