I love Granada and ISA-Granada Past Review
By Kristen C (MEEN, Texas A&M - College Station) for
ISA Study Abroad in Granada, Spain
I would go again in a heartbeat. Everyone should go abroad at least once in their life and everyone should go to Granada ( I might be biased). I would also recommend and ISA programs.
