To allow for maximum interaction and immersion in the Salamanca community and the Spanish language, all students live with Spanish families that have been carefully selected by the housing office of the University of Salamanca. (Students may not arrange for their own accommodations, nor make any changes in their residence without the permission of the program director. The home-stay is considered an essential element of the WFU in Salamanca program, and all accommodations must be properly approved.) These homestays immerse the students in the local community and provide them with the opportunity to practice their Spanish.

|Description|automatically add plugin-defined options to the [[AdvancedOptions]] shadow tiddler|
!!!!!Usage
<<<
At document startup, this plugin examines each tiddler tagged with <<tag systemConfig>> and looks for a tiddler slice named "Options" whose value refers to a tiddler section (or separate tiddler) that contains an 'advanced options control panel' for configuring that plugin's features and behavior. For each plugin that contains an "Options" slice, a tabbed entry is automatically created in the [[AdvancedOptions]] shadow tiddler to display that plugin's control panel.
As an optional fallback for backward-compatibility with plugin tiddlers that do not define the "Options" slice, this plugin will also look for a section heading named "Configuration" within those tiddlers, so that older plugins that define this section can automatically have their settings added to the [[AdvancedOptions]] tiddler without requiring the "Options" slice to be added.
<<<
!!!!!Configuration
<<<
<<option chkAdvancedOptions>> automatically add plugin-defined options to the [[AdvancedOptions]] shadow tiddler
<<option chkAdvancedOptionsBackstage>> automatically add plugin-defined options to Backstage menu
<<option chkAdvancedOptionsFallback>> use <<option txtAdvancedOptionsFallback>> section as a fallback for plugins that don't define an ~AdvancedOptions slice
//note: these settings only take effect after reloading the document//

To clarify: Semester of Study Application Deadline *Spring 2009 October 1, 2008 *Fall 2009 March 1, 2009 Completed applications must be returned to the Department of Romance Languages, Wake Forest University, 323 Greene Hall, Winston-Salem, NC 27109. Applications can be obtained by writing to the Department of Romance Languages, by sending an email to the program coordinator (galacs@wfu.edu) or from the website link - Application Form. Applications from other institutions are welcomed and encouraged.
Tucked in Spain's Northeast corner, with its thriving port and beautiful beaches lining the Mediterranean, its eyes looking out towards France and Italy, Barcelona has a uniquely European and cosmopolitan feel. Spain's second largest city, Barcelona is Madrid's eternal rival, but its chic art and architecture, coastal ambiance and the fierce regionalism of its Catalan people make it a very different place. Here you will stroll down the beautiful avenue of Las Ramblas lined with street vendors and performers, detour into the city's medieval Gothic Quarter and stop to see one of Europe's most distinctive structures at la Iglesia de la Sagrada Familia, Gaudí's masterpiece and whimsical icon of this distinct city. The modern art continues at the Dalí museum, a bizarre monument to one of Spain's most celebrated and peculiar geniuses. From its avant-garde art to the sound of Catalan spoken on the street to its proud defiance of typical Spanish clichés, Barcelona offers all the culture of a giant city with a very particular twist.

Documents · Get/renew your passport, if necessary. Go to http://www.travel.state.gov/passport_services.html for information, including the location of the application site nearest you. You will need to submit passport photos with the paperwork. · Obtain a semester or year long academic visa, see instructions on the Spanish consulate homepage at www.spainemb.org. · Get an International Student Identity Card from the Office of International Studies or from http://www.counciltravel.com/. It costs about $20 and you will need another passport-sized photo. You will need it for special student deals when buying your plane tickets or rail passes in the US, and you can present it for student discounts in Spain. · Make copies of all forms of identification. Leave one copy at home, take one copy with you. Make multiple copies of your passport. One to leave in the states, one to leave in your casa, one to carry for ID, and a couple in case your Wake professor needs them. · Bring your driver's license if you plan on renting a car, but leave other forms of ID at home. Most cars available will have manual, not automatic transmission. You can rent cars with automatic transmission only at the Madrid airport if you reserve it some time ahead. In Salamanca you can find a place (AVAL) to rent cars if you are over 21 years old. Other places will generally ask you to be almost 23. · Bring a few extra passport-size photos if you have them, or you can have them taken cheaply in one of the photo shops on the Rúa Mayor. Your professors will probably ask for pictures of you to learn your names when classes begin and it's really nice to have them on hand. Medical Needs · If you take prescription medication, buy enough to last through your stay. Bring an extra pair of glasses or contact lenses.

|Description|list/jump to tiddlers viewed during this session plus "back" button/macro|
This plugin provides a list of links to all tiddlers opened during the session, creating a "trail of breadcrumbs" from one tiddler to the next, allowing you to quickly navigate to any previously viewed tiddler, or select 'home' to reset the display to the initial set of tiddlers that were open at the start of the session (i.e., when the document was loaded into the browser).

Students are drawn to this city not only for its beautiful architecture, but also for its lively social atmosphere. Designated as a Cultural Capital of Europe in 2002, Salamanca provides a wonderful ambience for students from all over the world. From the Plaza Mayor to the Catedral Nueva to the Casa de las Conchas, Salamanca will not fail to impress. The rest of Spain is easily accessible from Salamanca. Santiago de Compostela, Sevilla, Madrid, and Barcelona are a few of the cities that students enjoy visiting. The Wake Forest program is based at the University of Salamanca, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe. Some of the university buildings date from 1254, and the library is famous for having over 2,800 ancient manuscripts. The quality of the courses and the reputation of the faculty at the University of Salamanca are outstanding. Click on the links below for information: *''[[Online Picture Tour of Salamanca:|http://www.flickr.com/groups/salamanca/pool/show/]]'' *''[[About Salamanca:|http://www.aboutsalamanca.com]]'' *''[[Tribuna de Salamanca (newspaper):|http://www.tribuna.net]]'' *''[[La Gaceta de Salamanca (newspaper):|http://www.lagacetadesalamanca.com/]]'' *''[[University of Salamanca:|http://www.usal.es]]''
The Wake Forest program consists of specially-designed classes, taught by both University of Salamanca professors and the Wake Forest program director. Since the only students are you and your fellow program members, classes are very small. There is also the option of enrolling in regular classes with Spanish students, (PEI courses) which can give a new perspective on the true university experience in Spain. If you have taken a few higher level Spanish classes and your Spanish is strong enough, you may want to consider enrolling in at least one regular university class. Be aware that they will be much larger and probably not taught in the same way as your specialized classes. If you are interested in these classes, you should talk with your program director as soon as possible about your interest, since s/he will need time to investigate what is available and what fits with your schedule. But be forewarned that it is sometimes nearly impossible to fit these classes in with your schedule. None of the students in the Spring 2003 program could make them work, so don't count on having them to transfer for your non Spanish majors. Another possibility for learning in a practical setting is an internship, which you can do for credit. If you are interested in internships, again, tell your program director early on, so that s/he can help you arrange one. Remember that internships count towards graduation, but not for the major or minor in Spanish. There are a number of libraries throughout the city, which you can use for study and research. Using a library in Salamanca is much, much more difficult than in the US. In most, you must fill out a form in order for the librarian to bring you a book and let you look at it in the library (most do not have open stacks); if you want to check it out, you have to fill out another form. In order to check books out, you need to get a library card; bring your Salamanca student ID, your passport, and a passport-sized photo to the Biblioteca de Filología. Most libraries will only allow you to take out four books at a time (if that) for a few days (if that). In general, the Biblioteca de Geografía e Historia is a little easier to use than Filología, since it is smaller and more manageable. Use the computer system to look up books; the computer system searches the whole university library system, so make sure the book you're looking for is in a library that you know. (If it's not in Filología or Historia, it's probably not worth trekking across town for.) The central university library, Santa María de los Ángeles, on Calle Libreros, is a good place for finding reference books and has a nice study atmosphere, but you can't check any books out of it.

For local and long-distance calls, expect to use public telephones or your cell phone (if you have a flat rate). For calls within Spain, you can use coins or you can buy a prepaid card from any tobacco shop. You will also want to buy prepaid calling cards for calling to the states. Eurocity gives the most minutes for your money and can be used for calls within Spain and out of Spain. There is a little tobacco store on the way to class just down the road from Mandala where you can buy phone cards easily in between classes. You can easily use these cards in the pay phones around town. NOTE: As of Fall 2006, you will have the chance to purchase a contract with a cell phone company to use during the program! Cell phones, or móviles, as they are called, are all the rage in Spain, especially among students. Be aware that making calls to a cell phone can be very expensive. They can be useful for making calls to friends within Salamanca, but are not the best deal for making calls from the US. I suggest that students should have cell phones because it is the only way to communicate between students. Cell phone plans are different in Spain than they are in the US. You do not buy a certain number of minutes per month. Instead you buy phone cards to recharge your phone. You can buy these cards in tobacco stores and in the stores of the different phone companies (Movistar, Orange, Vodafone, Yoigo) When choosing your plan, keep in mind that no one company is dominant, so you will probably be calling phones on different plans. As you use up your minutes, you can buy cards for more. Wake Forest found in fall 2006 a cell phone plan that almost fits perfectly for you at Apelcom. This company offers special plans for foreign students in Spain. Find more info at http://www.apelcomcell.net/. If you don't like their rates you can always look for an adequate cell phone plan at http://www.phonehouse.es/. They deal with all the Spanish phone companies and they have a store next to the WF Center. There are a number of places where you can use the Internet. Your director will provide you with a cash stipend to use these facilities. Take advantage of the free Internet offered through the University. There are many Internet cafes around town. Find your favorites! Also … WFU Center. You can buy stamps at any estanco store; just tell the clerk whether it's for a letter or postcard, and whether you're sending it within Spain or out of the country. You can also buy stamps at the yellow post office branches around town. There are several letter drop boxes around town (called buzones), often green or yellow, with the post office symbol on them.

Our trip to the Andalucian city of Córdoba will take us to the Mezquita or Great Mosque at Córdoba, one of the world's greatest works of Islamic architecture. Córdoba will transport you back to the era of Al-Andalus, the Arab empire that ruled Southern Spain for 7 centuries and flourished as Europe's most advanced medieval civilization. When Paris and London were small towns, Córdoba stood as the Continent's most advanced city, a metropolis of 300 mosques, numerous luxurious palaces and the world's greatest libraries.

Our travels will take us to the unforgettable, awe-inspriring 16th Century monastery of the Escorial. Raised in 1563 as a monument to his father Charles V, the Escorial stands as an icon of the Spanish Empire and its audacios grandiosity. Not far from Madrid near an obscure town this overwhelming construction encompasses a palace, royal pantheon and mausoleum, basilica and library. Its enormous installations include 15 cloisters, 16 patios, 300 cells, 9 organs, 1600 paintings, 88 fountains and 2673 windows and 1200 doors. This is the paramount symbol of the Empire at its height and the massive power and wealth it wielded. Today, visiting it is an almost surreal glimpse at a time when Spain believed it was Divinely destined to and capable of ruling the world. Take your camera, but no photo can capture the scope of this stunning creation. [img[http://www.wfu.edu/romancelanguages/study_abroad/Salamanca/images/escorial.JPG]]

Looking for activities besides classes, la marcha, and travel to fill your time? Unfortunately, the university bureaucracy can be absolutely maddening, and, predictably, getting involved in student organizations and student life can be difficult. Your best bet is to read the student newspaper (la Tribuna Universitaria) religiously, where you'll find announcements of different club activities. Also talk to Spanish students - they will be your best source of information. Ask your program director about specific interests - sports, music, volunteer work - but keep in mind that s/he will encounter just as much bureaucracy as you will. Volunteer activities are hard to find in Salamanca. If you do want to get involved, you should get started early, since many organizations want volunteers to commit to serve at least three months. Ask your program director or host family for ideas; you can ask at the Cruz Roja or see what is offered by various churches (catholic or protestant). There are many catholic churches around town. If you are looking for a nondenominational protestant church, there is one at 30 Paseo de la Estación that offers worship services and other opportunities for involvement, like Bible studies. Check the phone book for other churches, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter Day Saints. For non-Christian religious services, you may be able to find them in major cities like Madrid, but you will have a hard time finding them in Salamanca. The best way of finding what you want is to ask other young people. Take advantage of the fact that you are in a city of more than 40,000 students - get to know some Spanish or other international students. Admittedly, it is difficult to "make friends," especially if you are only there for a semester, but there are many opportunities to practice your Spanish with other young people while getting to know some people outside of your circle of American friends. The easiest way to do this is through an intercambio - you will see small notices in the academic buildings from Spanish students who want to practice their English/German/French etc. with native speakers. You may want to put up a few of your own - you are practically guaranteed more than one response and others will take the initiative to contact you. List a few of your interests - sports, music, history, film, literature - so that you can find people who have more in common than just a desire to speak another language. Remember to exercise common sense and be safe - only put your phone or email address, NOT your street address. Meet in a public place, and go to a café for coffee and speak for half an hour in Spanish, half an hour in English. If for some reason you don't feel comfortable with your intercambio, or don't feel that you have much in common, you're under no obligation to meet again. Not every intercambio will work out perfectly, but keep trying - you will learn a lot and maybe even make a few friends in the bargain! You can find a lot of intercambios at the University website http://websou.usal.es/interlin/buscail.asp.

You will meet your host family as soon as you arrive in Salamanca. Relax! Everyone is a little nervous about the prospect of living with a new family, communicating in a foreign language, and adjusting to a different culture, but many students consider the homestay one of the most rewarding parts of their experience abroad. Your host family is paid a certain amount of money to provide you with an individual room, a set of keys to the house, a hot shower, three meals a day, and laundry. Most families are used to hosting foreign students every year, so they won't expect you to be familiar with all Spanish customs or to speak Spanish fluently, and will help you adjust. Every family is different, so there is no formula for having a successful experience. However, here are some general tips that will ease your transition: Communicate, from the minute you meet your host family. If you don't understand something or have a problem, ask about it. It may take a few tries, but have patience and don't give up. Always be honest about your likes and dislikes. Ask about the house rules the very first day, and respect them. Since every family is different, don't assume anything - ASK. Electricity, water, and telephone are all expensive utilities in Spain, much more so than in the U.S. Learn to use them sparingly - turn off the lights when you leave the room, and take short showers. However, you are paying for basic accommodations, so if there isn't hot water or sufficient heat in your room, talk to your host mother. Since telephone use is very expensive, and most people are nervous about extra charges, don't be surprised if your family won't allow you to make any outgoing calls (even with a calling card, which is a foreign concept). Ask if/when you are allowed to receive calls, and teach the folks back home to say "(your name), por favor." Tell them to call at meal times, so you'll definitely be home, keeping in mind that Spain is six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. Most students acquire cell phones while in Salamanca. That’s the preferred way to be contacted by all your friends and family. When you walk in the door, say a general "Hola" to let them know you are home (unless it is 5AM, of course). Say "Hasta luego" or "Me voy" upon leaving the piso. Ask about mealtimes and let your host mother know if you won't be home for a meal. Ask permission before using or borrowing things that are not your own (including food); respect your family's privacy. In the US, turning on the television or helping yourself from the fridge might be considered perfectly normal behaviour for a long-term guest, but in Spanish culture it can be seen as inappropriate if the family hasn't given you leave to do so. Also respect the family's private space. How would you like to always have strangers invading your home! Read and study in your own room. When you're home, keep your door closed/cracked - this practice gives the family some privacy in their own home and lets you escape as well. But don't expect to be able to lock your bedroom door when you leave the piso. Your madre will need to get in your room to clean, change sheets, etc. Sometimes her housekeeping will involve your stuff being rearranged, especially with some of the more over-zealous madres. Unless your things are being stolen from you (in which case you should see your Wake director immediately), just accept it. When you're home alone and the phone rings, answer it (say "Diga," not "Hola") and take a message. If you feel uncomfortable doing this, ask your family. Watching TV with your family is a great way to learn Spanish expressions and chat with the family about something other than the weather. Some families will also let you watch TV on your own; you can find lots of dubbed American movies on weeknights. Expect the TV to be on (and loud!) during every meal; most families have theirs right by the dinner table. Entertaining at home is not typical in Spain - most people meet in a restaurant or bar. Don't assume that you will be allowed to bring friends over. Cleanliness is often very important in the Spanish home. When you enter the piso, take off your shoes and put on a pair of slippers. Offer to help with basic chores; if they say no, don't feel that you have to insist, but offer anyway. Clean up after yourself; this may mean keeping your room cleaner than you would in the dorm at Wake Forest, but your family will appreciate it if you refrain from leaving mountains of dirty clothes in your bedroom and puddles of water on the bathroom floor. Your madre will have a system set up for doing your laundry, but keep in mind that it may take time for her to get to it, especially in a larger family. If you have something that you want to wear the next day, you may want to take it to a laundrymat or drycleaners. A few families don't have big enough washers to wash piles of clothes so they may ask you to do all of your laundry at the laundrymat. This process is easy and fairly cheap usually $3 for a washer and $3 for a dryer. However, unlike in the states, they will do your wash for you. Ask your madre to take you the first time so you can learn the ropes. Don't let problems go unresolved. If you feel uncomfortable or uncertain as to how to resolve a situation, talk to your program director. He or she will be able to advise you, help communicate your needs to your hosts and mediate, or help you change families if necessary. Please do not be nervous! Living in a home that is not your own requires a period of adjustment, but you will be amazed by the improvements in your conversational Spanish. Have a sense of humour and don't be afraid to be yourself - you may discover that you and your host family have more in common than you ever could have imagined.
- Your ATM card from home is the standard, most convenient way to get money in Spain. (Find out what fees your bank charges for international ATM withdrawals. Fewer, larger withdrawals are normally cheaper than many small ones). Call ahead to let them know your travel pattern, so they don’t flag your account as fraudulent. · Set up a system for monitoring your finances while abroad; most banks will now let you do it online, or make sure that someone at home can access your info and is keeping track of your statements. Establish a means ahead of time for someone at home to make deposits to your account if necessary. · Buy a money belt to wear around your neck or waist, under your clothes. · Budgeting. Prices in Spain are roughly comparable to those in the U.S. (with the exception of food and lodging, which tend to be a little cheaper). Most people end up spending between $1000 and $2000 during the course of the semester - this includes extra travel, buying clothes and supplies in Salamanca, and paying for drinks, snacks, and eating out. Money Spain is full of telebancos (ATMs) and you can usually find one that services PLUS or Cirrus cards. When you arrive in Salamanca and haven't had time to find your nearest ATM yet, you can find some inside or around the Plaza Mayor. The exchange rate is usually excellent; however, service fees vary for each bank, so you may want to call your bank before you leave the States and inquire about their fees for international withdrawals. Credit cards are also accepted almost everywhere (several students have encountered problems finding places that accepted American Express). Credit cards can also be used in ATMs to make cash withdrawals. Call your credit card company to inquire about how they charge fees on cash withdrawals. Do not depend solely on a credit card because many establishments simply do no accept them. Also, if you are in a hurry, try to use cash because credit cards can sometimes take longer. If you plan on using your card in an ATM do not forget your PIN. Traveler´s checks are increasingly hard to use. It is almost impossible to find banks that will cash them and they give you horrible exchange rates coupled with commission charges. Always remember that banks in Spain close at 2:00 pm and do not reopen and only a select few are open on Saturdays. Don't forget to bring something secure (like a money belt) to put your money in while traveling. Americans are particularly vulnerable to theft, and replacement credit and ATM cards may take as much as two weeks to arrive.
Food: at home and on your own Breakfast is typically light - some toast or cookies with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee. You'll eat before you go off to class in the morning. Lunch, or comida, is the big meal of the day. It's rare to eat before 2, and many families wait until 3. Everything shuts down between 2 and 5 in the afternoon, when everyone goes home for a big meal. Some families will serve a first course, primer plato, which usually is vegetarian, followed by segundo plato, some kind of meat or fish. Staple foods include tortilla española (a thick potato omelette), sausages, pork and chicken, lentils and beans, soup, potatoes, and the ever-present pan - crusty, baguette-style bread. Food is cooked with a lot of olive oil. The typical dessert is a piece of fruit or a small cup of yogurt. Dinner is a smaller meal, eaten around 9 or 10 at night, sometimes later. Students are usually concerned about offending their families if they can't or don't want to eat the food that is offered. If they serve you heaping portions, simply explain that you don't eat much or are watching your weight, and you hate to see good food go to waste. (Spaniards as a rule are more sensitive to the concept of waste than Americans.) As far as food preferences go, the first rule goes back to the advice your mom gave you - try it, you might actually like it. However, if you are a vegetarian, have a food allergy, or are just an extremely picky eater - politely explain that you can't eat meat, eggs, onions, etc. Be forewarned that this will probably invite comments, but if you are polite but determined you won't have to eat it. The first few weeks or month on the Spanish horario may be a difficult adjustment, but remember that eating between meals here is a way of life. Many people have a small snack around 11 or 12 in the morning, and another at 6 or 7. This is where tapas, or bar snacks, come in. You can also buy cheap snacks at the grocery store - there is a Carrefour Express on Calle Toro, and the discount grocery chain, Día, has stores scattered around the city. There is a 24-hour convenience grocery store (overpriced, but the only one of its kind!) right behind the public library in the Plaza de Gabriel y Galán. There are tons of cafés in Salamanca, each with an atmosphere to suit your mood. The ones in the Plaza Mayor are over-priced, but they are good places to meet friends and watch people, especially when it gets warm, as you can sit outside. There are also many cafés near school in which you can pass the time between classes. Some favourites are Don Quijote and Mandala, which has excellent batidos (milkshakes), but be forewarned that milkshakes in Spain are more like thick chocolate milk than Cook Out. Find your favorite(s). Some cafés charge a higher amount for your food or beverage if you sit at a table than if you sit at the bar, as there is no tipping (often resulting in poorer service than you typically receive in the States. The reason they charge more at tables is because you are served by a waiter and waiters in Europe are paid a salary; tips do not count much for them since there is not the 15% or 20% gratuity principle. Besides, waiters do their job as a life profession). Unless there are many tables, you will probably not be waited on, so you can order at the bar. You should pay immediately if you take your food/drink to a table rather than waiting till you leave to settle your tab. If you are unsure about whether they have table service, just walk in, sit down, and if a waiter/waitress doesn't approach you within a few minutes, go order at the bar. Tapas or pinchos are simply small portions of various foods that you can order with your drink, usually with beer, wine or sangría. The most common (and edible) tapas are tortilla española (it is a potato omelette, sometimes called tortilla de patatas) usually served with bread, fried calamari, patatas bravas (fried potatoes with a spicy sauce), olives, cheese, tuna, egg, chicken, or whatever else you can identify. Other tapas options for the more brave among you include items like octopus and various fish-related delicacies. In Salamanca, some of the best places to go for tapas include Don Quijote and Mandala. Sometimes the bars charge you extra for the tapas, and sometimes they are free with your drink. Almost every bar has its tapas on display.

|Description|clicking an external link opens an IFRAME following the link instead of opening a new tab/window|
This plugin causes clicks on external links to be rendered into inline frames (~IFRAMEs) instead of opening them in new browser tabs/windows.
!!!!!Usage
<<<
Just place an external link into your tiddler content using standard TiddlyWiki syntax. When this plugin is enabled (see Configuration), an IFRAME will be created dynamically whenever you click the external link. Clicking on the link again removes the IFRAME. You can hold down a modifier key (shift, control, or alt) while clicking a specific link to ''temporarily'' bypass the plugin-enhanced IFRAME handling and use the standard link handling behavior for that link.
<<<
!!!!!Configuration

Home to the splendid Alhambra, Granada is a fascinating historical illustration of two worlds and two eras that collided when this last Moorish stronghold fell to Ferdinand's Christian armies in 1492, just as Columbus fatefully sailed for the Americas. See the Cathedral where Ferdinand and Isabel rest, just steps away from the city's medieval Arab university. Get lost in the Albaicín, the city's traditional Arab quarter, a whitewashed maze of charming architecture that has retained its traditional flavor for centuries. Tour the lush gardens and spectacular fountains of the Alhambra's Generalife, a breathtaking contrast to the dry landscape out to the horizon dotted with olive trees. Take a rest from the Spanish heat in the forest below the Alhambra, listening to the trickle of water from ancient Arab fountains. Enjoy views about town of the Sierra Nevada mountains where skiing continues into early spring. When the snow burns off in Granada, you can head to the beaches of the Costa del Sol less than an hour away. More than a historical treasure house, Granada is a bustling university town with a booming bar scene where you will find students from all over the world enjoying perhaps the best tapas in all of Spain. With so many bars vying for so many students and tourists, the competition creates absolutely delicious results!

After eating all the tapas and your madre's cooking, you may want to find a way to work it all off. The majority athletic activity (for those who do exercise) takes place outdoors, but do not expect beautiful weather. You will be walking further and more frequently than you ever imagined your feet could take you, so you will be getting a lot of incidental exercise. It is not customary to jog through the streets, so take advantage of the long afternoons for additional invigorating activity at the following places. Head to Salas Bajas. It's quite a hike, located on the other side of the river to the right of the modern bridge as you leave the city, so you even get somewhat of a workout before you arrive there. It is well worth the walk. We spent many an afternoon there, running on the l km dirt track, playing volleyball, basketball, soccer, tennis...and even picnicking. Your Universidad de Salamanca ID can get you the necessary equipment (with the exception of tennis racquets) at the field center. You can also use the locker rooms there. If the weather is poor or if you just prefer indoor exercise, many gyms offer aerobics, salsa and flamenco classes, karate classes, free-weights, stairmasters and treadmills. Shop around a bit before joining a gym to make sure its facilities, hours, and prices suit you. Some have cheaper rates if you use them in the mornings, and you often will have the option of 2, 3, 4 or 6 days a week for 2 weeks to a month. Depending on the deal you choose, you can expect to pay an average of $40 a month for gym membership and use. Make sure to check your calendar before joining because you don't want to pay for the gym when you will be out of town. Gyms include Splashthic by the RENFE station (the best facilities in town, but more expensive), Gimnasio Pasadena on Calle Ancha near Placentinos, Gimnasio Kata on Paseo de Carmelitas, next to TIVE; Gimnasio Pesa, near Cine Van Dyck on Fernando de la Peña; and Gimnasio España in Plaza de España. Ask your host family if there are any near your house - more likely than not there are. Try to get group rates if several people join. Professional Sports: If you get the opportunity, attend at least one pro soccer game. The Spanish fanáticos will show you what passion is all about. Tickets can be purchased at the stadiums and range from US$6 - $80, depending on which teams are playing and where the game is held. If you consider bullfighting a sport and think you can stomach it, go to a bullfight. What may seem like animal cruelty to some of us is really a significant part of Spanish culture. Pamplona, San Sebastian, Sevilla, and Madrid all have famous bullrings.

The program will pay for insurance for all the students. You will need to show the doctor or hospital your Cursos Internacionales student ID (which you will receive once you arrive in Salamanca). The insurance is with a company called Sanitas and should be accepted everywhere. In the case that Sanitas does not cover a certain service, your insurance in the U.S. should pay for it. You would need to be prepared to pay the bill with cash (at a doctor's office or private hospital). A public hospital will give you a bill (flat rate of about $70) with instructions where to go to pay it. Keep all bills and receipts, translate them, and send them to your insurance company at home. If you are sick and want to see a private doctor, talk to your program director who can recommend one. If you go to a private hospital, there will be less wait than if you go to a public one. Of course, if it's an emergency the university hospital is close by. If at all possible, make sure you have someone with you to help translate, because if you're sick, the last thing you'll want to do is speak Spanish. If you are feeling sick and just need some over-the-counter medicine (for the flu, motion sickness, etc) go to one of the pharmacies and just tell the pharmacist what's wrong with you. Sightseeing and entertainment Salamanca is rich in history, art, and architecture. You will tour the Old and New Cathedrals and the University as a group, but be sure to stop by the Oficina de Turismo (on the plaza mayor and in the Casa de las Conchas on the Rúa Mayor) to get more ideas. From the Roman Bridge to the round church at the Puerta de Zamora, the old city is an amazing place for exploration. Take an afternoon or two to get lost and discover on your own - find the mirador that overlooks the river, the bowling alley behind the Carrefour Express, the movie theatres Van Dyck and Vialia. Explore the parks and the tiny winding streets. See the little University museum and the other cathedrals around town. Every corner can bring a new discovery.
DEPARTMENT OF ROMANCE LANGUAGES STUDY ABROAD: INFORMATION AND POLICIES The Programs The Department of Romance Languages sponsors semester and year long abroad programs, in the fall in Dijon (France), in the fall and spring in Salamanca (Spain), and intensive summer language institutes (ISLI) in Querétaro (Mexico) and in Venice, Italy. As Wake Forest programs, these study abroad opportunities are evaluated in accordance with Wake Forest guidelines, fall under the Wake Forest Honor Code, and are administered as a regular Wake Forest study program. As part of these academic programs, and included in their respective costs, a number of group excursions and trips to places of cultural interest are offered. The Director The Director of the study abroad program is a faculty member in the Department of Romance Languages who is authorized to supervise all aspects of the program. The Director remains with the group throughout the length of the program, accompanies students on group excursions, and is available to aid, advise, and attend to students and their concerns during the stay abroad. In Dijon, Salamanca, and Venice the Director teaches one course. In Querétaro, the Director may on occasion teach Spanish 213. The Faculty Except for the course taught by the Director, all courses are taught by professors from universities located in the respective study abroad sites. The Department of Romance Languages considers this collaboration with native professors an asset to its programs. Their European or Latin American background and perspectives provide students with a more international and global approach, an essential goal of the study abroad experience. Students should expect their professors to offer a different approach to the discipline, not only in perspective, but also in terms of course plan and evaluative tools. Students should not expect the teaching style of their Spanish, Italian, French, or Mexican professors to replicate the style of the professors on the Wake Forest campus. Courses Courses taken as part of the Romance Languages study abroad programs are Wake Forest courses and are evaluated as such. All courses are taught in the target language by the director and/or the faculty from the local university. Course content is presented either in a syllabus or in a general description of the course. Grades As part of the Wake Forest curriculum, courses taken as part of any of the Romance Languages study abroad programs are evaluated in accordance with the grading system on campus. Native professors are provided with a translation into the respective language of the description of grades published in the Wake Forest undergraduate bulletin. When the grading system used is that of the country of the study abroad site, grades are translated into the American system before they are reported to the Office of the Registrar. Cultural Activities Participants in the Romance Languages study abroad programs are encouraged to explore the culture of the country where they study. Program monies underwrite many cultural activities, including group trips and excursions. During such trips, students must remain with the group and follow its itinerary. A student may not separate from the group to visit other cities. The program will pay for cultural activities under the following circumstances: when the group is together; when, in the judgment of the Director, the activity is related to the Program or to a course; and when the Director organizes the activity. In the event that a student declines to participate in a cultural activity sponsored by the program, s/he will not be reimbursed for the cost of that activity. Books The program will pay for books and other materials (e.g. newspapers) that students need for their coursework while studying abroad. The Director will inform the group of where texts may be picked up or purchased. Students may receive some of their textbooks at Wake Forest before leaving the U.S. while other texts may be purchased after they arrive at the study abroad site. Meals For students participating in the Salamanca program, all meals are provided by their respective host families. Querétaro students receive breakfast and dinner from their host families and purchase lunch for themselves. Host families participating in the Dijon program offer students a daily breakfast and two evening meals per week; they receive a daily allowance from the Director to pay for the cost of other meals, available in cafes or restaurants in town or at student cafeterias at the university. Breakfast and dinner are included during all excursions and trips that are a part of the academic program in Salamanca and Dijon; during these, students also receive a daily allowance for lunch. Students will receive no reimbursement for meals they miss either with the host family or during group excursions and trips. Transportation The Dijon and Salamanca programs pay for students’ roundtrip transportation costs to and from the foreign study site (up to $1,200). While the program will pay transportation costs for group excursions and trips, when students travel on their own during weekends and other breaks, they must pay their own way. Because Dijon and Salamanca pose different local transportation needs, policies pertaining to local transportation are different at the two sites. Participants in the Dijon program will be provided funds to purchase the bus passes they will need to get to their university classes. In Salamanca, no travel allowance will be provided for transportation unless a student is housed outside a normal radius from the town center. Students in Querétaro and Venice provide their own transportation to and from Mexico/Italy and within Querétaro and Venice. E-mail Students participating in the Romance Languages study abroad programs should not expect to find the same technological infrastructure and on-demand access to e-mail and the Internet that they have on the Reynolda Campus. Arrangements will be made, however, for them to have access to e-mail accounts while they are in Dijon and Salamanca, although, this may be on a more limited basis than what they are accustomed to. All Wake Forest students participating in a study abroad program are required to complete forms on which they state their intent to leave, store, or take their computer with them. They must also sign computer liability and insurance forms. Medical Insurance Students enrolled in the Salamanca program receive insurance, paid by the Program, through the Office of International Studies at the University of Salamanca. Students must be prepared, however, to pay for any medical expenses not covered by the insurance and then to present receipts for those expenses to their insurance company in the United States. Students enrolled in the Dijon and Salamanca programs must confirm with their insurance company that their policy will cover their medical expenses while they are abroad. They will then be expected to pay their own medical expense and present receipts to their insurance company once they return to the United States. Students in Querétaro and Venice must have medical insurance in the United States. Visits from Family Students are encouraged to invite their families to visit them while they are abroad. Such visits should take place after students have settled into life with their host families; it is recommended that families from the United States not visit during the first three weeks of the program. Visiting family members and friends should not expect to stay in the home of the host family. It will not be possible for anyone not enrolled in the Program to participate in group trips and excursions. Important: Salamanca Policies A Free airfare is extended to all students whose flight falls under a $1200.00 limit. The program will do everything to negotiate the cheapest airfares possible for its students, but can not guarantee that all flights will fall under this limit. Students whose ticket passes this limit in cost may be asked to pay a penalty to cover the difference. As of the drafting of this memorandum (September 19, 2003) all students will receive tickets exclusively negotiated by the Director and may not arrange their own travel expecting compensation from WFU in any amount towards their travel. However, if the director determines that students will generally receive more favorable fares through individual rather than group purchase, WFU in Salamanca may extend compensation of up to $1200.00 to students purchasing their own tickets. The director will announce any change to the standing ticket policy in due time. B WFU in Salamanca does not take responsibility for arranging student visas, which are required for participation in the program. All students and parents should read carefully the section below regarding visas. C All students participating in the program must reside with the families approved and assigned to each student by the program. Students may not make their own arrangements for residence, as the home-stay is considered an essential part of the program. D Students have internet access in Salamanca at the WFU Center. Students may receive a cash stipend to defray the costs of printing required class work at another facility. E Students will receive a cash stipend from their director for meals on all group trips. This stipend is calculated to defray the costs of dining at reasonably-priced establishments, but is not guaranteed to cover all dining expenses that students may incur. F Group travel is a mandatory component of the program. Students may not abbreviate their participation in or skip these trips for personal reasons. Only program participants may travel on group transportation and lodge in group facilities on all official trips. Any friends or family seeing students during group trips must work around the group schedule in order to visit with students. G. All students are automatically covered by medical insurance under Sanitas for the entire duration of the program. No solicitation of coverage is necessary. Important Note Regarding Visas Students participating in the WFU in Salamanca program are required to obtain a student visa from the Spanish embassy covering their state of residence prior to departure from Spain. The WFU in Salamanca program does not take responsibility for the successful solicitation of student visas or oversee the visa application process. The following information is intended to assist students, but does not represent a commitment on the University’s part t
