Spanish Studies Abroad

CC-CS is really great about offering side trips to museums or other 'cultural' spots. These are led by professors from the Center who have specific knowledge about that area. It's always helpful to have someone tell you what's going on and it was a great way to see other parts of the city.

The program directors were extremely accommodating, we had their personal cell phone numbers to use at any hour in case of emergency. They helped us with planning for independent travel and also provided news about various cultural events happening in Cordoba.

Both the main administrators with CCCS in Cordoba were fantastic. I can not say enough about how helpful they were and generally just great people.

As soon as I walked in the front door for the first time I was loved and treated like a member of the family. I cannot say enough great things about my host mother. I was completely cared for and never lacked anything. The house was about a 45 minute walk to school, but it was worth it to live with the family that I did. The transportation in Seville is also very easy to navigate and sped up the journey significantly. I recommend SEVici for a cheap way to travel around the city.

The teachers at the CC-CS Center are FANTASTIC! They make class a lot more fun because they care about it and about you.

It was hands down the best experience of my life. I loved my classes and the professors and I absolutely loved the Universidad de Alicante and its campus.

I went to Spain afraid to speak the language and returned being able to understand native speakers and comfortably respond using the language skills I have acquired over the years.

'I wanted to thank CC-CS for offering me an opportunity of a lifetime! The structure of the program is perfect, it offers students enough time in the classroom to learn new things about the country, its culture and language. The class trips, which were interesting and fun, while still providing the students enough free time to explore.

Take advantage of all of the activities CC-CS offers on a weekly basis! They were all very interesting and definitely enriched the cultural experience.

The Center was a wonderful facility and its location in the center of the city was ideal.

I absolutely loved my homestay. My host mom was amazing and so welcoming, and it wouldn't have been the same experience without her. -Lisa Peterson, Muhlenberg College, Seville Semi-Integrated Studies, Fall 2010
