Study Abroad with PRESHCO
" Definitely worthwhile! I learned so much about myself, had a wonderful, fun semester, and learned a ton of Spanish."
A student Wellesley College
"I gained new friends, a new family and new Spanish capabilities. I learned how to calm down, enjoy life and destress. It was totally worthwhile and I would recommend this program to anyone and everyone who wants to practice Spanish and have a great, fun time abroad. "
Sofia David Smith College
"It was definitely worthwhile. I gained a lot of new language skills, became more independent, and learned how to do things such as plan international trips, which aren't things I would have gotten otherwise."

"Definitely - learned a lot about the language, made connections with people, learned about different points of view."

A student Wellesley College
"An enhanced understanding of the Spanish language, and an entirely new comprehension of Spanish culture and way of life, for which I am grateful to have experienced. It was definitely all worthwhile."

"I had an amazing time! I loved my host family. I made several great friends, both with other people in the program and with Spaniards. I loved the food, the excursions, and the cultural classes. My Spanish has definitely improved and I overall had a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this program. "
A student Wellesley College
"I obviously gained improved knowledge of the Spanish language and culture, but I would say that I gained even more in learning to adjust to an entirely unfamiliar environment and in becoming a more independent person while abroad. I definitely consider my experience abroad to be worthwhile."

A student Oberlin College
"New vocabulary Cultural experiences"
A student Wellesley College
"I learned so much about Spanish culture, the language, and how to live in a foreign place. I made incredible friends and had an incredible host stay.

A student Smith College
"I gained so much from this experience; in addition to gaining fluency and confidence in my Spanish, I also learned so much about the country and the culture through conversations with Spanish people, watching the news, etc. I think it was an invaluable experience to step outside the US, and gain a more global perspective on our ..."

"I grew in my Spanish speaking abilities, stepped out of my comfort zone and got to see new things and places."
A student Wellesley College

A student Smith College
"Learned more about the Spanish culture. Made new friends. "
Megan Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about myself as cheesy as it sounds. I learned about the communities I want to build, what environments work or dont work for me, and I was constantly reminded of why I love Spanish and how it opens up a new worlds for me. I think people would be shock when I say the program was worthwhile even though many people..."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about myself, about Spain, about what it's like to live abroad (both how hard and surprisingly easy it is)."
