Study Abroad | Intensive Spanish | University of Cadiz Spain

Alicia Otero Cuesta was one of the worst human beings I’ve met in my entire life. From calling me names and stating that I’m disrespectful and uneducated to ruining my clothes when she only washed twice in an entire month to making me go hungry because she always reheated extremely small portions of food for my roommate and I while she cooked a decent meal for herself and husband. The following picture was our dinner after not eating for 7 hours because of course she didn’t give us any snacks.

I had such an awesome and unforgettable experience with this program. The program provided such a great experience and opportunity to experience Spain at its fullest. I also want to give a special thanks to Marta for being such great help on recommending places to eat and have fun across many cities in Spain. Also enjoyed Martas company not only to me but my class mates that needed help wether it had something to do with class, housing, recommendations, and emergencies. As a native Spanish speaker, still felt like I learned a lot from the Spanish language that I will carry on at home. The culture was amazing, loved all the social interactions I had in Spain and learned a lot of slang and customs that are practiced here. And lastly the food was amazing, love trying food across the globe and Spain for sure checked the box.

I really did enjoy my stay in Cadiz and would love to do it again. The staff was amazing, the instructors were knowledgeable, and the food was fantastic! I know for a fact, that one truly has grown from an entire ordeal and wouldn't change a thing. If I could, I'd make it a point to visit Cadiz, through this program, every single year.
