Best Semester Ever!

I studied in high school with Seville Abroad and truly had one of the greatest experiences of my life. Pepa, Chelo and Nicole are the kindest people and created the most welcoming place in a new environment. They were helpful and accommodating and made me feel very safe. Going to school was hard at first but became easier and eventually was fun. I made lifelong friends that I am already planning to go visit and I miss Seville so much! The excursions were a highlight and my host family was amazing! I can’t recommend this program enough!!

I learned so much about myself and had the best experience

Being part of Sevilla abroad you create long-lasting memories that you'll look back on forever. While there I discovered so much about myself and who I want to be. Like all experiences, I faced challenges, one being moving host families. This was a very hard time for me but having Pepa and Chelo there supporting me every step of the way was extremely helpful. During my time there I created long-lasting friendships with both Spaniards and the other study-abroad students. Before choosing Seville Abroad I did my research on all other study abroad programs but decided on this program because of how small it was. Pepa and Chelo make sure to know you well and support you. I couldn't have made a better decision. The relationships you make with the people there and Chelo and Pepa will be relationships that last forever.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If there is any advice I can give it is to be social. Talk to the kids in your classes and ask them what is going on that weekend, get to know them, and make as many friends as you can. Also, talk to the other kids in the program because they can give you advice about anything you need.
Pros
  • Build life long relationships
  • Traveling with the group and alone
  • Fully immerse in the Spanish culture
Cons
  • Depending on what school you go to it may not me easy

A year in Sevilla

My daughter spent a gap year in Sevilla during which she attended a public high school. Seville Abroad provided her with the opportunity to live abroad and experience a new culture with the security of having support nearby if she needed it. Her goal was to improve her Spanish and learn about a new culture. She did both of these and more. Sevilla Abroad offers tutoring, in country and out of country excursions, and opportunities to partake in local celebrations. The first two months were the hardest as she worked to improve her Spanish skills and make friends. She ended the year more confident, outgoing, with excellent Spanish skills and close friendships with Spanish and American friends. The decision to go abroad changed her life for the better and gave her experiences and new perspectives she would not have had without this opportunity. Given the option to do it again, we would most definitely do it all again.

Trimester Abroad in Spain

I had an unforgettable and amazing experience living and studying in Spain for my first trimester of my junior year of high school. Even though my level of Spanish was not high when I arrived in Spain, I was able to learn from the classes within my program and through my amazing host family. I feel that I was matched up to them and fit into their family very well. It was also very helpful at first because my host sister knew a lot of English and I was able to learn Spanish from her easily. I left with much more vocabulary and ability to understand the language than what I arrived with! In addition, I experienced personal growth in independence and maturity.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I tried ox tail in Cordoba, which I was unsure about at first, but it was delicious. Also, when our program took an excursion to pros, I tried escargot! The sauce was the most tasty part but the texture was interesting!
Pros
  • The learning of a new language.
  • Meeting lifelong friends who live all throughout America
  • Opening your eyes to different cultures and the diverse world.
Cons
  • The school system in Spain was difficult to get transcripts and records from.
  • It was difficult to choose classes and personalize a school schedule.
  • The restriction of curfew of midnight was difficult to abide by with the typical life in Spain.

Seville Abroad Summer Program 2023

I participated in the Seville Abroad Summer Program in the summer of 2023. This was my first time ever traveling abroad by myself. I really loved the Seville Abroad program and would highly recommend it. The program offered a well balanced mix of host family time, Spanish language classroom study, and fun travel excursions. I really enjoyed the opportunity to live with a local Spanish family and to experience all of travel in southern Spain. The staff at Seville Abroad were fantastic. I felt supported throughout my experience and they always took the time to check in with me to make sure that all of my needs were being met. Based on my positive experience, I am now looking to apply to Seville Abroad again and to participate in their High School Abroad program.

Pros
  • Spanish language study and immersion
  • Cultural experience living with local host family
  • Supportive Seville Abroad staff and opportunities to travel in southern Spain

Seville Abroad

Our 17 year old son just participated in Seville Abroad's Summer Program, and we do not have enough words to describe how grateful we are for the wonderful, educational and safe experience he had in his first time away from home. Seville Abroad is a top notch language and cultural immersion program and it has our highest recommendations. The staff is professional, responsive, organized and above all caring with their students. We are beyond impressed with this group. Seville Abroad exeeded our expectations in every possible way. Their professionalism and organization was palpable from the very beginning. Our initial contact with them eased any fear we had to let our son go so far away. We were especially impressed by the personalized care they gave my son in our absence. Our son loved this life changing experience, forged a beautiful friendship with his host family, and fellow students and looks forward to returning. We are definitely going through Seville Abroad when we send our second son to Spain in two years. We love everything about Seville Abroad, and its staff!

Pros
  • Organized and professional staff
  • Caring and attentive to the needs of the students
  • Safe and strong communication
Cons
  • Nothing

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Say yes to all the opportunities that come your way! While insanely fun and rewarding, foreign exchange is not a vacation; rather, it's a challenging but very fulfilling choice in life. My biggest piece of advice relating to the program is to dedicate yourself during Spanish classes, do the homework, and ask questions. You get out what you put in, and I promise that if you take your language learning into your own hands you will be ecstatic about the results!
It's also important to have open communication with Seville Abroad and your host family. Don't be afraid to tell them about your feelings and any hopes you have for your exchange- you'll be glad you did!
