If so, where & what did you study? I was thinking of taking Spanish in Spain or maybe going to London for Math. I'm so undecided about this! My school has a great abroad program that can take you to certain countries anywhere between 3-6 weeks. My cousin has gone to China and is now fluent in Chinese.

I did a study abroad program for an entire semester. I was a science major, but arranged my schedule so I could do a semester of just gen ed credits.
I spent just over 3 months in Florence, Italy. I took Italian language, Italian culture, Art History, and an English class that was literature about Florence/Italy. It was AMAZING!
If you have the chance to go, you absolutely should!! 3-6 weeks wont be enough time to get you fluent in a language, but you can still have some great experiences.

I am sold! I'm majoring in biology but I still have some general education courses that I need to get done. I was thinking of maybe going during my winter or summer sessions at school. It's a shame that it's only for a few weeks.
