Deciding to study abroad in Chile was the best decision I have ever made! Past Review

By Laura B (Spanish, Christopher Newport University) for

ISA Study Abroad in Valparaíso/Viña del Mar, Chile

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?

Study abroad with ISA greatly helped my Spanish skills, as well as a new understanding of a new and beautiful culture. As a result of this program, my desire to travel and live abroad has only increased and I will be returning to Chile at the end of the month to begin teaching English.
