I learned much about how I react to being put in a new and foreign environment and what techniques I respond best to when in new environments. This experience influenced my path at MIT by connecting me to many new people that I would not have typically interacted with at MIT. In addition, I now feel confident in utilizing different learning styles like the ones used in European countries.
Victor's story
Computer science major Victor Rosales '26 studied abroad at the Universidad de Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) in 2025. He was able to take classes that he typically would not have been able to at MIT, learning practical skills and enriching his college experience.
"My study abroad experience in Madrid was life-changing, and I wish I could go back and do it all over again!"
