Seville Abroad

Our daughter spent an entire year with Seville Abroad, and we cannot speak highly enough about the program. Pepa and her team were excellent from the first contact my daughter made, answering all of our questions and meeting with us to discuss the various school placement options. She worked hard to match our daughter with a host family, and when an issue arose with the initial placement, she immediately addressed the situation and found a replacement host family for the remainder of the year - the transition couldn’t have been smoother. Seville Abroad provides wonderful opportunities for the students to travel both within and outside of Spain, as well as language and cultural immersion opportunities in Seville itself, forging strong bonds among the students participating in the program. Our daughter returned to us happy, confident, mature and incredibly independent (not to mention nearly fluent in Spanish). So grateful that she had this opportunity!

During the School year of 2024-2025, I studied abroad in Seville. It was truly the best decision I could've made. When I first started researching programs to go abroad with, I found my wanted more clarity about the experience than many large programs were giving me. At the last minute, I found Seville abroad and decided to apply. I liked this program because I would be guaranteed to livein a certain area. If you are like me and absolutely need to live in a city, or you just need clarity on where you will live before you apply to programs,s this program is the perfect solution. If you are not someone who likes cities or has never lived in one, Seville is the perfect spot for you. It is so safe and not overwhelming or intimidating at all. Apart from the amazing location, the team at Seville abroad will take such good care of you. Any time I needed their help, they were there to troubleshoot with me and make any changes necessary to better my experience. Not only are they great at their jobs, but they are also amazing people and friends! I am still in touch with everyone and plan to visit and meet up with them in the future. This program specifically gives you the opportunity to make connections with Spanish kids your age at school and at home, and also with other exchange students you will meet in the program. Another one of my aspects of Seville Abroad is the traveling, not only throughout Spain but throughout the whole world, you will get to do. With Seville Abroad, I got to visit three countries apart from Spain while living there, and of course, many smaller trips to cities, towns, and beaches throughout Spain.

I am writing this review knowing that its exactly what I did when choosing an international program for my 15 year old son. We are so glad we choose this!
Our family could not be more grateful for the incredible experience our child had with Seville Abroad. From the moment he arrived, the program provided a safe, supportive environment that encouraged him to step outside his comfort zone and discover his own strengths.
One of the most meaningful outcomes for us was watching him grow more independent than ever before. Whether navigating daily life, engaging with new friends, or embracing the vibrant culture of Seville, he learned to trust himself by making good decisions and most of all become more comfortable traveling by himself. That confidence has stayed with him long after returning home.
Seville itself worked its magic, too. The city’s warmth, beauty, and welcoming spirit made a lasting impression on him. It’s clear that Seville will always be dear to him, a place he’ll carry in his heart as a source of inspiration and cherished memories.
I would like to thank and say how awesome the staff is! (Pepa, Ena and the whole crew) They provided updates on everything they did. I got to say it made me jealous. I wanted to be doing those things too!
We wholeheartedly recommend Seville Abroad to any family looking for a transformative, enriching, and truly unforgettable experience.

Pepa and staff THANKS for all you did!

If you’re thinking about doing Seville Abroad, definitely do it! It truly was the best experience of my life and I think back about it so much! When I first arrived at the airport I already knew I would become so close with the group of people I was traveling with and we all clicked instantly. When I met my host family, I was greeted with so much welcome and kindness and I knew I was going to love it there immediately. I learned so much spanish and so much about the culture there and met so many new people. The teachers are absolutely amazing and are some of the friendliest people I have ever met. The group of people I traveled with became like close family and I know I’m going to have so many lifelong friendships all over the U.S.. Seville is also the most beautiful and safe place and the buildings are so gorgeous. I loved all the excursions we did and how much of Spain we got to see. This truly was such an amazing program and I had so much fun!

My daughter participated in the Seville Abroad summer program and her experience could not have been better. Pepa takes care of the students like they are her family. I was blown away by the breadth of experiences she had and the confidence that she came back with. She talks frequently about wanting to live in Spain and her ease with speaking Spanish has persisted. This program exceeded every expectation I had. I felt like my daughter was cared for and safe while also gaining confidence to navigate a new country. My daughter has changed in so many wonderful ways and will never forget this experience.
