Students with Disabilities
Physically disabled students contemplating study in Spain should be aware that universities in Spain are not equipped with the same services that American universities have. This means that generally there are no special facilities or personnel to assist students in wheelchairs or with other needs. Facilities such as wheelchair ramps and beeping traffic lights do not exist in most places in Spain. Private homes and public buildings usually have many steps or small elevators; public transportation does not offer the disabled additional means for getting on or off buses or subways. In addition, few psychological support systems are available.
Should disabled students decide to participate in the Marquette Study Center in Madrid program, they may need to provide their own additional assistance. The Marquette Study Center cannot be held responsible or liable for the possible impediments due to conditions in Spain that could prevent a positive and fruitful experience abroad.
