Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

As everything was taught entirely in Spanish and the professors were all locals my educational experience there was great. The classes were also very small allowing you to really connect with the professors and challenge you furthermore to participate in class. The workload was not an overload, teaching was very casual and informative, and the grading system was the same as in the US. Amazing.

On-site administration of your program

This program and the administration was very accessible, productive, informative, personable and supportive. The program size was perfect, it was 50 students. It was more than I could have asked or hoped for.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I lived with a host family on the border of Los Remedios and Triana in an apartment. <br /><br /> I lived with a woman and her son, along with another student. It was probably the best overall experience of my semester abroad. It was around a 20 min walk to class and in a very residential area.

My host mother cooked all our food. It was plenty of food and amazing at that.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

We went on multiple field trips that were great. Spanish culture is amazing.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I never felt unsafe in Seville.

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

I lived with a host family that only spoke Spanish and all of the professors spoke Spanish and were from Spain. Yes, Spanish was necessary in everyday interactions and most of the Spaniards I met spoke very little English. It is like most programs, the other students were Americans so you could speak as little or as much Spanish as you wanted. The opportunities were there and available it was a matter of taking advantage of them.
