Study Abroad with PRESHCO
"I learned that everyone abroad is very knowledgeable about global politics, languages, and I hope the US is too. "
A student Wellesley College
"The most obvious learning done is that I'm now fluent in Spanish! But aside from that, I feel more independent and confident than I ever have in my life - going to a foreign place and creating a community from scratch is one of the most worthwhile things a person can do"

Although I’m a native Spanish speaker and didn’t face language barriers, I gained a much deeper understanding of regional cultural nuances, local customs, and the day-to-day lifestyle in Spain. It also gave me the chance to connect with students from around the world,..."
