I have learned so much
April 24, 2025by: Emily Fortune - United StatesProgram: EF - Language Abroad
I have loved this program it was absolutely amazing to see and learn about the world. I thought it was strange there was no spanish classes in Granada and very disappointing! I also loved the people on the trip, but after talking to many people who have been on EF trips there just seems to be a consensus for drama. I say people should have a mental health screening before.
Truly formative experience
December 17, 2024by: Ava Stabile - United StatesProgram: EF - Language Abroad
This trip truly changed my perspective on the world around me. I now am well informed on circular economy and the importance of keeping a sustainable lifestyle. I also have made many friends and connections that I will keep for the rest of my life.
