Study Abroad with PRESHCO
"It was definitely worthwhile. PRESHCO gave me a personal and thorough trip into the culture of Spain (this comes from the amazing staff, well-planned excursions, the host families in the program, and the fact that it's a small program in a small city) that, from talking with other friends about their study abroad programs, is r..."

"I got to travel a lot and experience different cultures. I definitely improved on my Spanish although not as much as I wanted, but it was the best decision I made."

"I learned how to be fearless. I came in barely knowing Spanish and I lived with a host family that barely knew any English. I had to learn how to communicate using very limited resources. The lessons I have learned from my study abroad have been instrumental to how I operate in social settings now. I feel confident in my abilit..."

"My semester abroad was definitely my best semester so far! My Spanish improved so much, and now I feel much more confident in my speaking ability, which was something I was shaky on before. I think planning trips around Europe for myself and my friends really taught me a lot about myself. "

"It made me a better happier person. You should travel a lot around the rest of Europe! "
Claire I M Wellesley College
"Learned about Spanish culture/history. It was nice to spend an extended period of time in a place that's not the most touristy place in Spain. Cordoba has a long and interesting history, and you can see it in its infrastructure. It was worthwhile."
maanika Wellesley College
"I learned to be even more open-minded regarding other peoples' political/social views. I learned to embrace new experiences and to speak Spanish more fluently.
