I truly enjoyed this unique opportunity and will take this experience with me for the rest of my life. This trip greatly improved my Spanish skills through both in-class and out-of-class immersion. The staff made the paperwork easy and understandable with quick responses every time.

Changed my life!

Studying abroad in Montevideo, Uruguay was an unexpected life-changing experience that allowed me to grow as a student, a person, and as a traveller. Prior to this experience, I had never gone out of the country. Never would I believe that I would end up in Uruguay of all places. I am so glad that I did. Truly a unique country with an intriguing and diverse culture. Uruguayo culture stands out in comparison to other South American cultures. With such a small population, I was able to form authentic and enlightening connections with communities within Montevideo. Whether it was the baker from my favorite panadería, the vendors at the weekly feria, or the other students at our host university. I was able to experience real Uruguayo culture through its people. This gave me a new perspective on my studies and my life, gave me a new passion for learning languages, and granted me experiences and friendships that will last a lifetime. I would recommend this experience to any student looking to have a truly transforming trip!

I loved living in Montevideo and my teachers were really excellent. I had fun playing soccer, swimming, and playing beach volleyball with my friends. The travel opportunities were awesome, I visited Patagonia, Iguazu Falls, Buenos Aires, Florinopolis, and so many places within Uruguay.
