Bienvenidos, SCFC Salamanca 2014!

Paper chains were used to mark off the weeks, calendars charted the countdown, cell phone reminders blared 'ONLY 50 DAYS until Salamanca!!' But where does the time go? All of sudden the Salamanca Spring program was upon us, and students frantically ran around buying the last minute essentials for their 10 weeks studying abroad.

It has been a whirlwind 6 days since arrival day, filled with lots of exploring and wonderful memories. The students stayed the first night at a hotel in centre of Madrid with AIFS staff and were able to explore Spain's beautiful capital city. The following day we headed to Salamanca and transferred all students into their accommodation. In the evening we met in the Plaza de Mayor and as fate would have it, at the moment we all met the lights of the Plaza Mayor turned on (of course we told the students it was specially for them - but I'm not sure they believed us).

On Sunday we had an informal walking tour around Salamanca, followed by Orientation and most importantly the welcome lunch. Classes commenced on Monday and students are now getting into the swing of things.

It looks like it's going to be a great semester!
