Life-Changing Semester

As cliché as it sounds, CIEE's Liberal Arts Program Sevilla changed my life and I believe it is the best program in Spain.

I lived with a host family in the center of the city, which allowed me to practice my language skills, get to know what daily life is like, and try regional, home-cooked foods. I felt comfortable like I was in my own home and still maintain a relationship with my host family even though I am back in the USA.

On the academic side, I enrolled in classes directly at the Universidad de Sevilla. This was one of the best decisions I ever made. My Spanish language skills improved immensely to the point I can now speak fluently. Moreover, I was able to connect with Spanish students in my class who became my best friends while I was abroad. These classes transferred back to my home university without any problems

CIEE was a phenomenal program provider. When I got COVID after a month of being in Spain, CIEE was quick to respond and get me the help I needed. They made the process so easy and I could not have imagined what I would have done without their support. This is only just a snapshot of the organization, professionalism, and experience of CIEE's staff in Sevilla. CIEE's planning of day trips around Andalucia was exceptional, allowing us to see places like Cordoba, Cadiz, and Ronda. Additionally, CIEE plans many activities within Sevilla that allowed us to get to the city's history, traditions, and attractions.

I can only say positive things about CIEE and its programs. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to study abroad in Spain.
