Seville Abroad Reviews

We will be literally forever grateful for Noah’s experience with you and have so much respect for the way in which you run your program.  He is a lucky boy that he was cared for by such wonderful people.  Thank you again.   He learned many, many lessons along the way under your care and attention.

You did such a good job matching Noah with a family that he vibes with right away. What a treasure for him.

We highly recommend this program. Our Noah was there for six months.

Greetings - Our daughter attended both the Seville Abroad Summer Program (2023) and the High School Abroad program (2024/2025). We were really impressed by the Seville Abroad program in general and would definitely recommend it to others. Our daughter loved both of her experiences and the time that she spent living and studying in Spain. The program includes a variety of incredible experiences including living with a host family, attending a local high school, and traveling both regionally in Spain, as well as around Europe and North Africa. Our daughter really enjoyed the structure of the program and the opportunity to develop new friendships, both with local teenagers, as well as with other students associated with the Seville Abroad program. Additionally, our daughter benefited from the multitude of oppotunities to immerse herself in new culture experiences and to improve her Spanish language skills. We loved the experience so much that we are currently exploring the opportunity to have our son attend the program as well. In conclusion, we would be remiss without making mention of the Seville Abroad staff (Pepa, Chelo, et al.) for the care that they put into the program and towards curating a positive and dynamic immersive experience for all of the students. With that said, thank you for everything that you do on behalf of the Seville Abroad program and for providing this opportunity for students to broaden their horizons and unlock new potential.

Addie had an incredible time in Sevilla! Sevilla Abroad created an environment that was incredibly supportive, fun and educational. There was a perfect mix of planned activities to learn about the customs and culture of southern Spain, as well as downtime to relax and get to know her host family. The communication was outstanding! Addie fell in love with her host family and her entire group at Sevilla Abroad. She did not want to come home and is already planning her next trip to Spain with Sevilla Abroad! It truly was a transformative experience for her and she made friendships that will last a lifetime.

I loved Seville Abroad! I had so much fun exploring the city and trying out new places with some of my best friends now. I will miss everyone, especially the teachers with whom I have become so close. We have created a sort of family from all around the United States, and I will miss everyone so much. It was the time of my life and definitely an adventure I will never forget, with so many memorable stories we will be telling for years to come. I would love to do another study abroad like this again!

I LOVED my experience doing the Seville abroad summer program. It exceeded my expectations and I enjoyed the entire experience. What I loved the most was the freedom we had and the ability to explore the city and everything it has to offer. I felt like the program went by super fast because basically every day we had a planned activity and if we didn’t I would always go out and explore with my friends or family. I was nervous at first to speak Spanish but my family as well as many of the other families knew English pretty well so there wasn’t any stress with communication. I definitely did learn Spanish, mostly talking to other Spanish teens and ordering food. I was in the easiest level for Spanish classes and they were super fun but I think I learned more Spanish outside of class than I did while I was there. Every day we would go out and do an activity during Spanish class which made me look forward to the classes and I had a great time. One thing about the summer program is that it was over 100 degrees nearly every day so I bought a fan early on which I recommend. After a couple weeks I adapted to the heat and during the hottest hours I would be inside. Overall I loved this program and would recommend it to anybody.

This month of studying abroad was honestly the best decision I have ever made. I never would have thought that at 15 years old I would be alone in Spain for a month. At first I was very homesick and I hadn’t adjusted well, but once we started school and met friends I knew it was going to be an amazing experience. When we all met up for the first time I thought it was going to be hard to make friends, but it was the complete opposite. Everyone was so friendly and we all clicked instantly! I was very nervous going into school because I thought it was going to be very hard and stressful. But, Candela made sure we were all on the same level and always had a fun and interactive lesson plan for us. Candela made me enjoy learning Spanish and made me want to come to class every day. Coming to Spain knowing little Spanish was definitely a struggle when interacting with my host family but it got easier over time. One thing I would fully recommend is going out at night. It was definitely my favorite part of the trip, especially staying out late on Friday nights. It was a really good opportunity to bond with the other students and even meet the locals. Overall I would say this was a life changing experience and I would come again!

This program was amazing! Not only did I improve my Spanish, but I formed bonds that I will have forever. The staff of this program is nothing but supportive. They’re also extremely approachable; I never hesitated to reach out even if I had a tiny inconvenience. Everyone is very reasonable when it comes to rules, and I always felt like the main priorities with Seville abroad were fun, safety, and cultural exploration. My one complaint was where my house was located, because I was quite far from the city center, and my morning commute to class was slightly over an hour. However, I would recommend this program to everyone!!

Seville Abroad gave me an amazing experience where I learned about Spanish culture, history, and the language. I met so many amazing people and created many friendships with people I would have never met otherwise. Every activity we did was so much fun and learned about Spain. My favorite part of the trip was the other students. I have become so close with many of them and learned about their parts of the United States. This program is a no brainer for anyone who wants an adventure with a large group and a learning experience. I couldn’t recommend Seville Abroad more!

Overall, my time in Spain was one of the best summers I have had. The days were always jam-packed with activities, excitement, and enjoyment. Almost every day, I was out doing things in either the city or the neighboring suburbs with my friends. If not, I was having a slow and quiet, but very much needed, day with my host family. During this time, I met many people, people I will continue to miss well after we leave Spain. I met both mixes of Spanish, Americans, and other travelers from all over. Seville Abroad gave me a summer I never thought I would have.

Overall I think this trip was an amazing experience for me. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to experience new foods, customs and a new culture. I made some amazing friendships both with kids from the program and from Seville. I really liked that we had lots of group activities while also having lots of time to explore the city on our own and with friends. This trip helped me gain confidence in my Spanish speaking abilities as I have never had to have so many full conversations in spanish and helped me become more confident in talking to others in general. To the next kids coming out here I would say don’t be afraid to talk to new people and try new things, it can be scary but it is so worth it.
