<p>I am currently a sophomore at my school, accepted at a special dental program at my school. I basically split half of my time between my undergrad and dental school during jr and sr year. I save one year of dental school (7 year undergrad + grad) and about 70,000 dollars in tuition/fees. I've been thinking about studying abroad lately in Madrid, which I absolutely cannot do while in this program. I will have finished all my pre-dent courses and have taken the DAT before jr year starts. I was wondering if studying abroad for a year is worth the extra gain in year/tuition, or would studying abroad during the summer in spain be an equally reasonable choice?</p>
<p>Study abroad!! Trust me, it’s always worth it.</p>
<p>Going for three months is fine, but I assure you once you get there you’ll want to stay longer, so a year may be the way to go. It all depends on how patient you are in finishing your schooling. I had to stay almost another year at uni because I studied abroad, but I have never regretted it.</p>
