Great experience. I really enjoyed taking classes here. I learned a lot of Spanish and met new friends. I enjoyed Sevilla it was a great city that i could explore. I took the medical Spanish class which i learned very useful things for my future career. All of the profesors and staff were very nice and helpful. We also went on many fun excursions such as cordoba, the cathedral, and a flamenco show. I would definitely recommend tourning the Triana neighboorhod because it has many historical sights. Overall an awesome experience.

I really enjoyed my time in Seville! All of the staff here were very nice and helpful and my host family was very welcoming. I LOVED my professor (Mila)! She was amazing and taught me so much and was very helpful especially when I was nervous to speak up and didn’t have as much previous knowledge as other people in the class. The group tours were very informative and Seville has so much to offer! Living with a host family definitely helped expose me to real Seville life and gave me a whole new perspective of Spain. I definitely would recommend this program to other students looking to study abroad, but may not have the time or ability to do a whole semester.

I enjoyed my class a lot with Juanma. The center was really nice but I had troubles with my host for housing. The city was beautiful and the activities were fun. I took a second class with my university in the states and balancing the work load was tiring but overall worth the work. The cultural excursions were really great and having the long weekend to explore was amazing. I highly recommend traveling to Portugal to check off another country and to escape the heat. The eating schedule was difficult for me but it’s part of the experience and something to be prepared for.

Last semester I had the chance to study abroad in Seville through Spanish Studies Abroad. I was able to attend Universidad de Sevilla and the Center for Cross-Cultural Studies. All of my classes were taught in Spanish and my Spanish skills improved greatly.

I had the best host family I could have ever imagined. I enjoyed being able to share moments with my host family and make long-lasting connections. Living with a host family made me feel immersed in the Spanish culture.

The staff at the SSA are very kind and always available for any questions or help. It was an amazing semester that I will never forget!

I'll be the first to admit that I was very hesitant about studying abroad. I knew it would be difficult leaving my family, friends and everything I was comfortable with back home. I wouldn't trade the experiences and opportunities that I got for the world. With SSA, my courses and internship challenged me for sure, but also helped me to better understand the Spanish culture with hands on experiences. I met so many people from around the world, ate some incredible food and made memories that I hope will last a lifetime.

My semester abroad in Sevilla was the greatest time of my life! I made tons of amazing memories, friends, and had a great support system with my program, so I never felt like I was unsafe or had to worry about anything. The classes I took at the Center for Cross-Cultural Study were both challenging, but also fun and helpful. The professors are super nice and enjoy teaching their students. I enjoyed the different immersions and activities our school offered as well, like our trip to Granada and getting to visit different museums in the city. I stayed with a host mom and was able to live like the locals and improve my Spanish, and also learn some Spanish slang (¡que guay!). I'm glad I studied abroad in the Spring so I could experience Semana Santa in Spain and Feria de Abril because they are definitely note worthy experiences. The one thing I miss most from my semester abroad is not having classes on Fridays! It was an incredible program and I wish I could rewind time.

I completed the Spanish Studies Abroad Teaching Practicum in Seville, Spain! It was an incredible experience and I gained an impressive mark on my resume. This really allowed me to grow as an educator and develop my Spanish skills. I partnered this Practicum with 2 sessions of classes beforehand. I think this is my favorite part about customizing your own abroad experience. I was able to stay with a local family in the beautiful barrio Triana and learn about the history. Spanish Studies Abroad helped us to connect with outside adventures in Europe. We were able to visit many different parts of Spain, and travel beyond! I think Spanish Studies Abroad provides 1:1 connections unlike any other program I looked into. I highly recommend future educators utilize this program or create your own like I did!

This was the most amazing experience of my life hands down. I stayed with a mom in a typical Spanish neighbourhood across the river from the city center. She was the most genuine and welcoming woman I have met and she made the tastiest food ever. I cannot express enough how great my professors were as teachers, but also as friends and mentors who were invested in my well-being. I had an invaluable experience that will be with me for the rest of my life. I made friends that I will never forget and experience what it was like to really live in a different culture.
