Housing
Students are offered two different options for housing during the program. For those looking to truly immerse themselves in the Spanish language and culture, they are invited to "live like a local" by residing with an experienced Spanish host family.
Generally, two students from the program live at the homestay and are integrated into family life as they share daily meals, activities, and stories with their new Sevillano family. For those interested in more of a student environment, the supervised residencia option offers them the opportunity to live in a shared apartment with a house mother and 3-4 other students.
Regardless of which option they choose, students are housed just a short walk or easy bus ride away from the school and are provided three daily meals and laundry throughout their stay.
Program costs vary depending on course selection and time of stay, but the approximate fee for Spring 2024 would range between $11,436 - $14,331. All costs, fees, and dates are subject to change without notification.

Eligibility Requirements
I absolutely love this city!!! The faculty is really nice and understanding, we have planned city trips almost every weekend, and the classes aren't difficult at all. Seriously, I would 10/10 recommend this program.
To study abroad more than immerse me into a new culture, it helps me know a new side of me. It was an excellent experience, I comprehended the cultural roots of my country, Venezuela; and I was able to explore being a student in a different country.
