I'm taking Track 1 for spanish and I'm curious what the schedule will be like?

Track 1 Spanish is the most intensive since it is beginning level. You will have class every morning, Monday through Friday, for about three hours daily. The good part about this is you will go through four classes of Spanish and earn four semesters worth of credits in one semester abroad, plus your language skills will dramatically improve!

The tracks are usually in the mornings starting around 8 or 9am until about 12 noon. Track 1 and 2 usually also have classes on Friday mornings. It's great though cause then you are out for the day and weekend after.

During my experience in Alicante, Spain most classes were in the morning. With an exception of classes such as cooking, sailing, and rowing. Otherwise the core classes are in the morning.

My schedule was always fairly easy to navigate. All of my classes were in the morning usually but there were definitely some that started around 2 or 3 and you never really knew which those were until you had already signed up for classes. It was easy to switch a class though if you wanted, you just had to go to the advising office on campus and talk to our usac leaders.

Most classes through USAC are in the morning but if you take classes directly through University of Alicante, they really vary. I had a class from 4-8pm for a week but my USAC classes all ended roughly around 2pm =)
