Study Abroad in Granada, Spain Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

All the students are American and the teachers know that school shouldnt be too difficult since you are already trying to adjust to a different language. As long as you go to class everyday and do the homework, you should be fine.

On-site administration of your program

Paula and Inma have been doing this for 10 years so they know exactly what they are doing so you should feel like you are in great hands while studying abroad

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Normal apartment with a host mother coming in during the day and leaving during the night. Had one American roommate and 3 Spanish roommates. <br /><br /> My safety was never in question, although after midnight you probably shouldnt walk alone. Class is a 25 minute walk, but you get used to that after the 2nd week. Bars and the nightlife are all walking distance and some are as close as five minutes away.

The food is all fresh and amazingly well prepared. I have never eaten so well in my life.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

AIFS usually had a field trip to somewhere around Spain every other week and everybody always went on them. There are many holidays during the spring semester and all give you a deeper understanding of Spain

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

If you go to a big university, then it will feel the same as if you were in a college town. There were no vaccines that you needed to get.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

I spoke mostly with my host family and in Granada no one really speaks English so it was a great way to practice your Spanish
