Study Abroad in Seville, Spain with WorldStrides

Before embarking on my trip, I was super nervous because it was my first time traveling outside the country on my own. As soon as I landed, I immediately felt at home and ready to explore Seville. I was amazed at how beautiful the plaza de España was and overjoyed that it was a part of my daily commute. From the moment I met all my peers, I knew we would become great friends! I also had an amazing time getting to know the Seville staff as they welcomed us all. The excursions were perfectly planned, but they gave us time to explore cities on our own. I also felt that the academics were easy to manage, but challenging nonetheless. Overall, I was so sad to leave the city behind and the beautiful architecture. I enjoyed sketching the beautiful sights in my free time and trying new cafes!

Studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain was one of the most impactful experiences of my life. I arrived feeling anxious and homesick, not sure how I would adjust to living so far from home. Stepping outside my comfort zone was intimidating at first, but quickly became one of the most valuable parts of the experience. Sevilla pushed me to grow. Navigating a new city, strengthening my Spanish, and adapting to a different pace of life forced me to become more independent and confident. I found community everywhere I went and comfort in my own independence. Beyond the personal growth, I gained a deep appreciation for Spanish culture, from daily life to traditions and community values. The friendships I formed with locals and the perspective I developed reshaped who I was and continue to be. I left Sevilla with the best memories, confidence, and an understanding of how important it is to do things out of my comfort zone. If you are nervous about studying abroad, so was I, but it is so beyond worth it!

I cannot say enough great things about this program and the experience I had. Given the opportunity to learn and live in Sevilla was a life changing expereicne. ISA does a great job organizing housing, taking us on awesome excursions and amazing classroom experience. Everyday was a new adventure and everday I was learning something about the culture or experiencing something new. My whole college experience is drastically changed after getting to experience a semster in Sevilla.

I cannot rave about the experience that I had with ISA enough! I went with my best friend and it allowed us to gain a whole realm of experiences and opportunities while we were making unique memories that will last a lifetime. We stayed together with a host mom, Inma, who truly made us feel like we were right at home. She loved and cared for us like we were her own children, offering to help us with whatever we needed whether it was a ride to/from the airport, flamenco lessons, or help with my spanish homework assignment - she was there. I cannot express how much I miss Sevilla and the people I got to experience it with (including my professors Isabel and Coronada)!

For my 2025 spring semester I finally got to fulfill a years-long goal of studying abroad. My journey towards completing this experience was very intentional and I prioritized a lot more than just having fun. Before entering college, I set the goal to take a semester abroad and do everything I can to make it work financially and academically. I knew I wanted to travel in the future and always thought I'd find fulfillment in doing so. I spent my sophomore year researching study abroad programs until I landed on ISA in Seville for spring of my junior year. I could complete my Spanish minor immersed in Spanish culture and take classes that counted as credits towards my global business undergraduate certificate and my B.S in finance. Being able to stay on track academically and getting a scholarship and other aid from my home university seemed to make this a worthy opportunity for me. However, I wouldn't truly know how worthy it would be until actually doing it. When I touched down in Seville on my 1,000+ mile solo-journey, ISA helped me get to my host family and made my traveling feel stress-free. ISA consistently offered this type of support throughout my semester, for both my academics and safety. I was worried about meeting my host family and making friends i the program. I had not gone abroad with anyone that I knew and would be living with a random roommate in the house of a family that did not speak English. These things were well beyond my usually comfort zone, but I knew they would make for a valuable experience that would be fun to look back on. I ended up having a great roommate and a fantastic host family that I was able to practice my language skills on. Ultimately, everyone going into this experience, whether with friends or not, is probably out of their comfort zone in some way. The first week reminded me of my first week at college freshman year where everyone is willing to socialize and make new friends more than they may usually be. It was funny having that experience again a few years later with other students who have already been through that as well. Overall, I had an amazing time in Seville, and I want to go back in the future. I bonded over soccer with classmates, and we spent a lot of time watching games at bars, going to games in Seville (Soy con Betis), and even taking trips together in Porto and Mallorca, outside of the trips that came with my ISA program. Soccer was a big reason I chose Seville as I knew it was the heart of serious passion in Spain. I get goosebumps thinking about the roar of Betis fans in the Benito Villamarín as they sang before and throughout games and beeped their motorcycles to the tune of...bad words towards their rivals. My soccer experiences peeked seeing an American score for Betis against Madrid from the front row and that same player scoring in the derby against Sevilla (as I stood in a crowd outside a bar nearby the stadium, where about 10% of people could actually see the game on the bar TV and the rest screamed for Betis blindly). I got to experience the love of soccer in Seville many times a week in different ways, meeting people from Spain and around the world as my friends and I went to different bars, games, and events. Seville was rich with culture and events like "Semana Santa" and "Día de Andalucia" were extraordinary to experience. I meant so many local people in Seville, on solo trips to other cities, and with my friends and program. I learned so much from these people and will cherish every conversation. I will cherish all of the conversation. All of the food, kebab especially. All of the soccer. All of the trips. All of the nights out. I have countless stories to tell and experiences I won't forget. Seville was a perfect city for its location, weather, medium-size, food, culture, and so much more. My host family was super supportive as well and I made a friendship with my host brother and sister that has lasted beyond my programs finish. Ultimately, you can make study abroad what you want it to be. I meant other students in countless different situations and found that success abroad came down to just how willing you are. Willing to embrace a new culture, start conversations with strangers, try to communicate in a new language, and adjust to countless other things. I was willing to do these things and left Seville with so many great memories, new American and Spanish friends with them. My classes were anchored to local events and offered activities throughout the city. I had plenty of support from the people at ISA Seville's office and rarely felt unsafe. Overall, I had a lot of fun and studying abroad and it was well worth the hype I gave it beforehand. I would encourage anyone who wants to take courses in business or Spanish, experience soccer culture, eat good food, meet nice people, and live in a nice city to choose Seville. These are things I can speak to directly and I hope anyone reading this with overlapping interests would consider Seville for their study abroad city.

fter researching different study abroad programs, I decided ISA was the best option for me, and I am so glad I did! ISA has the best benefits, is so budget friendly for what they provide, and there for you every step of the way. My experience in Seville was something I will never forget, and I highly recommend taking the step to go with ISA! I especially loved that ISA has an office in every study abroad city, so I know I have people there who are there for me in case of emergency or any needs I have! The bonus trips were also an amazing perk and gave me the opportunity to see new places and also get to know people on my program better.

Honestly, this was one of the best experiences of my life! As someone who has never traveled outside of the country before I was extremely nervous. Except, when I landed I knew that I never wanted to leave! The professors clearly valued the students more than academics (however, I still felt like I learnt more here than I have at my home university). The culture, the food, the people, the environment, the architecture, are incomparable to the United States. Seville allows you to express yourself.

I had the pleasure of studying in Seville for two weeks during my Winterim term this year. Although the experience was brief, it allowed me to embrace all the opportunities that traveling abroad can offer. I forged meaningful connections with peers who shared my enthusiasm for exploring the world and immersing ourselves in a new culture. I was able to witness firsthand the values and traditions deeply rooted in Spanish culture. Additionally, I learned the true merit of stepping into the unknown—pushing myself out of my comfort zone and navigating new and unfamiliar circumstances. This trip was truly a perspective-shaping experience that left a lasting impact on me. I am grateful to the ISA team for providing this opportunity and experiences and all the staff who worked hard to make sure we received an immersive and enriching time while abroad!

I spent my junior year abroad with ISA. While in Seville, I took the 2-Week intensive course at the ISA study center, and two semesters at the Universidad de Sevilla. The intensive course at ISA was rigorous, but worth it. The professor was incredible, and arriving two-weeks early gave me extra time to acclimate with the city of Seville and make new friends. When starting at the University of Seville, I studied under professors that were flexible with our language abilities. My classmates were all American, so I made great friendships that I have kept to this day. For housing, I spent the first semester in a host family, and the second semester in the ISA residencia. I am grateful to have lived in a host family first semester, as it paid huge dividends in my speaking abilities and was convenient for meals. However, living at the residencia was at times more comfortable and allowed for more connection with other students. I would recommend any abroad student to stay in a host family if they only have one semester! I would recommend Seville over just about any other city in Spain, as it is an extremely safe, tight-knight community. The streets are steeped in culture, and the nightlife is unmatched. I miss it daily!

Studying in Seville was the best experience I have ever had. I was able to fully immerse myself in another culture and make lasting memories and connections with new friends and other students I have worked and studied with. I was able to have a productive learning environment while also being able to have fun and visit other cities.

I chose to study abroad in Seville in the spring, and it was the best decision I could have made. In the spring, they have two festivals that cannot be missed. One of them is Holy Week but called Semana Santa in Spanish. Two weeks later, is their Feria de Abril which also lasts a week long! This was easily my favorite experience of my study abroad and I recommend it to everyone who is thinking about studying in Seville to stay that entire week. I was able to wear a traditional flamenco dress and hang out with Sevillanos. The social scene overall is lively and there is always opportunities to get to know other people/students. I never had a bad experience with the locals (even when talking to them in Spanish). The food is amazing and even when you get tired of Spanish cuisine they offer a variety of food all around the center. When I traveled around Europe, I always felt like Seville was my home base and by the end of every trip, I wanted to return back.

WOW! My time abroad was amazing. I would not have changed anything if I could. I loved my school, host family, roommate, and everything about Sevilla. One of my favorite parts about studying abroad was being able to be immersed in a culture without being a tourist. There is something so special about calling a foreign land a home. I was able to learn about life across the world and experience something so unique. I also loved living with a host family. It was in their home that I was able to practice Spanish in a way I have never done before.

My time in Sevilla, Spain was such a wonderful experience especially as my very first time abroad. I originally applied due to interest in the history course offered, but the sheer fun I had with my classmates as well as the relationship fostered with the staff in my time there was very heartwarming. I felt incredibly safe due to the gated housing. I had access to a lot of banks/ATMs, grocery stores, restaurants, and a lot of close by local attractions like the Alcazar and the Plaza de España. And coupled with the sheer atmosphere of being in such a beautiful country was the fact that the class was just as interesting. The professor really went out of his way to educate us and I'll forever be grateful for that. Definitely go for it! It's okay to be nervous and scared at first, but I PROMISE you'll soon come to relax and love it so much that you'll promise yourself you'd come back!

Studying in Sevilla, Spain wuth ISA was the most incredible experience of my life. I had the most unforgettable 4 months and will never forget the memories I made. I met so many people and the administrators were so kind and personable - Manolo, marina and Tamara especially made the residencia feel like home.

You are missing out if you haven't heard the song "Sevilla Tiene un Color Especial" by Los Del Río. This song perfectly describes my experience in Sevilla with ISA. The song talks about Sevilla has a special color, and I couldn't agree more. What made Sevilla so special? The people. The ISA staff, professors, and directors were all very nice; they made me feel like family and always helped, whether it was with academics or recommendations for shopping or food. Additionally, I had a host mom who helped me navigate Sevilla and travel throughout Europe. The culture in Sevilla was fascinating and beautiful. For example, everywhere I went, people sang or danced to flamenco. Semana Santa was very traditional, and their tortillas were amazing. Furthermore, the classes were the most interesting I've ever had. They were very active and engaging, and I learned so much. I even took flamenco classes! As I mentioned earlier, the professors were great! Lastly, the people in Sevilla were very nice. I met many locals who included me in their plans and showed me around. Sevilla will forever have a special place in my heart. I learned so much by exploring a country very different from the ones I've been to. I would highly recommend people visit Sevilla, Spain, but only if it's with ISA.

I had an excellent experience studying abroad with ISA. The staff were all so incredibly kind and helpful. When I landed in Spain, I immediately felt relieved and taken care of. They planned an orientation, social events and helped give us access to other events through school and around the community. The trips through ISA were amazing. I went to Lisbon, Granada & Cordoba and Morocco with ISA. Through these trips I learned so much culture and history that I would not have otherwise experienced. It was so nice to have these trips pre-planned so all we had to do was show up and transportation, hotels and food were planned out for us. However, we also were able to go off on our own and do what we wanted. We were taken care of as needed but not tied down or forced into anything, we were treated like adults and able to use the ISA resources as needed. The first day, I met some of my now closest friends. Seville is a wonderful city, studying abroad with ISA gave me an experience I am forever grateful for and will never forget.

Spending a semester abroad in Sevilla was one of the best experiences that I have ever had. All of the staff were very helpful and made a point to get to know all of us individually. The city is very safe and I made lots of Spanish friends that I still talk to regularly now that I'm back in the States. The classes were engaging and the professors were all very knowledgable. The city is very walkable and accessible which made getting around easy.

This experience was life-changing! I didn't know what to expect when I first got to Sevilla, so I came in with an open mind. That was honestly the best thing I could have possibly done. Upon arrival, the program staff and my homestay family greeted me with warmth. Although I didn't know Spanish and my homestay family didn't know English, we created a strong bond and were able to teach each other and learn from each other. I learned so much about myself going abroad, and it gave me confidence and a new perspective on how I approach life. Throughout the program I met some incredible people who I still keep in touch with today. We bonded over shared experiences and traveled together throughout Spain. It was amazing because it sort of provided a safety net and secure space, knowing that you all have shared emotions! We all had so much fun together and didn't want to leave!

As cheesy as it sounds, nothing can properly express how studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain through ISA has impacted my life for the better. I fell in love with Sevilla, with Spain and traveling, the 3 months I spent there. There were so many great things about my experience: the freedom of being abroad, the cultural and immersion and language practice, and the opportunities to develop myself professionally with local organizations. Most of all, I fell in love with the people. The ISA Staff were all very nice and helpful throughout the whole experience, and they were all very encouraging about exploring the city and meeting new people (safely of course lol). It was such a great time that I felt I had to come back to Spain and teach for a year (and I had drinks with my former ISA professors when I visited Sevilla!). Studying abroad with ISA was the first step to accomplishing all my dreams of living and traveling abroad.

Participating in the ISA summer program in Seville gave me more opportunities to immerse myself in the Spanish culture, to learn the language, to visit beautiful places, and to meet new people than I had ever imagined! I was only there for four weeks, but I made enough memories to last a lifetime, and I built amazing friendships that have continued after the trip ended. I was able to visit 4 Spanish cities outside of Seville, a Spanish island, and a city in Portugal! I had so much freedom to explore with the other students, but also plenty of amazing structured activities put on by ISA. My favorite excursion was to Granada and Córdoba where we got so see beautiful historical sites, such as la Alhambra, and stay in a super nice hotel. Another great aspect of the program was my living situation. I stayed with a Spanish woman and another ISA student who became my best friend. Our host cooked delicious meals and chatted with us daily, even though our Spanish was not the best. She always took the time to answer all of our questions in a way that we could understand. As for my classes, my professors were the best! I learned so much in my social psychology and advanced Spanish courses without ever feeling overwhelmed by the workload. I am so grateful to have been able to have such a great trip with ISA!

I studied abroad 2 years ago with ISA and had such a great time that I moved back to Spain after college! ISA really worked to make the study abroad process and experience as enjoyable as possible. They provided tons of great resources both pre, during, and post departure and I always had great interactions with their staff. The program was really well established with tons of cultural activities and it was realatively easy to build community with other study abroad students while there. I had a great homestay experience and still keep in contact with the friends I made while abroad!

I am so thankful that I was able to study abroad with ISA. I went as a second semester senior, and though the process to get my school to approve it was lengthy, it was so worth it (my school had a rule that you couldn’t do your last semester away from your home campus, so I had to get an exception). I was a Spanish major, and my main goal was to learn as much of the language as I could. I stayed with a woman who didn’t speak any english, and she taught me more than anyone at my school ever did. I loved living in Sevilla, and the excursions through ISA were so fun. If you want to go to Spain, go to Sevilla. They have so many big events that you’ll love like Semana Santa and Feria. The program leaders were so helpful (MJ saved my life when the airport lost my luggage). If you have the option to go abroad, do it. It’s a once in a lifetime experience.

I had an excellent time in Sevilla. My host home pairing was the highlight of the trip. I still keep in touch with my host mom. We also got a great orientation to the city the 2nd day we were there. It was a great way to do the touristy things first so then we could explore on our own the rest of the time. I highly recommend going to Sevilla. And am grateful for ISA’s host home pairing.

Coming to Seville I had never lived abroad before. However, this program made the experience safe, comfortable, enriching, and most importantly fun. The accommodations, leaders, professors, and peers were all so supportive and kind. I could honestly not have asked for a better experience in any regard.

All the planned excursions were a good balance of organized but allowed for us to explore on our own. I only spent four weeks in Spain so it was a little overwhelming thinking about all the things I wanted to do in so little time. All the planned activities in Sevilla and in surrounding cities were perfect to help ease that travel stress. I stayed in the residencia which was a good way to make friends, it was in a great location and I always felt very safe. I would say if a student was looking for more cultural immersion stay with a host family but that can also be stressful and the residencia made it easier to live in Spain. The teachers want you to succeed in class and they know you want to enjoy Spain and not be overwhelmed with work. One tough thing was that we didn’t know what time the classes we selected were going to be offered at so some people had class really late in the day and had to miss some activities because of it. I would have liked more information about the program before arriving in Spain. Everything worked out but I felt a little in the dark leading up to my program. Since we had class Monday through Friday it was not ideal for traveling farther distances or to other countries in Europe. I would say the structure of the summer class would be better for people looking to explore Sevilla and other parts of southern Spain. Overall this program offered a good balance between independence and guidance for my first experience living abroad.

I had a truly memorable experience during my time in Spain. Made lots of new friends, visited new and exciting places, and got out of my comfort zone. I’ll certainly look back on my time abroad fondly for the rest of my life!

I had an excellent time during this program. It was a difficult time to travel due to COVID and we were one of the first programs to operate after the pandemic. ISA was very helpful in ensuring we all had the paperwork, medical testing, and everything else we needed to make it to Spain and return home safely and smoothly. We were introduced to Sevilla in a very engaging way and I really learned to love the city and feel at home. The dorms were amazing (including AC, updated bathrooms, big windows with great views), in a great location, and comfortable. I would recommend this trip to anyone!

I went to Seville, Spain during the summer to finish up my business degree. It was the best decision ever! I made so many friends and had unforgettable memories. Seville is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain! It’s a perfect place to immerse yourself into Spanish culture and language. My professor was so cool & I actually had fun in the class (shoutout Jesús). I miss my time in Seville every single day!!!

My time in Sevilla during my study abroad with ISA was by far the greatest experience of my life. From the excursions to the course and the people I met through the program, my semester was packed full of excitement and life-changing experiences. I lived with a host family, and by the end of my time in Spain, they had become like a second family to me. With my host parents, I was able to become so immersed in the city of Sevilla, learning about its rich history, culture, and traditions. The ISA staff was also incredible! They are there to make sure you stay safe, but also to ensure you have the most fun possible on your study abroad. In my program, we did excursions to Morocco, Lisbon, Gibraltar, and a few other places, and the ISA staff was always right there with you having fun. As far as classes go, I took mine at a local university with many other international students. This was amazing because I became friends with students from all over the world. My time with ISA was truly incredible and it has left me wanting more and ready to plan another trip abroad.

I absolutely loved my time studying abroad during Summer 1 2023 with ISA in Seville! I got to meet so many other college students from around the US and we all became super close!! I also loved the city of Seville, as it was full of rich history, culture and beauty! I loved all the tapas bar and restaurants and how friendly the people are. The city is also super clean and feels really safe! There is a lot of Spanish spoken here, so I really got to practice and perfect my language skills! The ISA team was always so helpful and gave us awesome, immersive weekend trips! I lived in the student residencia, which was so big and nice, but I know my friends liked their accommodations as well. Classes were great and my professor was so sweet and knowledgeable. Couldn't recommend this program enough and wish it lasted forever!

My semester in Sevilla was the best time of my life. I met so many great people and had countless experiences that I will never forget. Each trip I went on was amazing, and I am already trying to figure out how to go back. My host family made the experience even better, and I cannot wait to see them again.

Everything about my trip abroad was an amazing experience. I loved all the people that were there to host the program and the teachers. As well, all the trips that were preplanned were incredible. I took the opportunity to go on the optional Morocco trip and that was an experience of a lifetime. I strongly recommend studying abroad in Sevilla!

The staff is beyond amazing. I loved going to Madrid, Toledo, Granada, Cordoba, Lisbon, and Morocco with ISA, the experience with them was unforgettable. So caring and informational!! I learned so much and saw so many things. ISA rocks!

I loved my time abroad in Spain. I met so many wonderful people and I got to study in a beautiful Andalusian city. The excursions to different cities as well as the activities in Seville that the program provided really helped give students authentic cultural experiences. I cannot wait to go back and visit!

I couldn't have been luckier to experience a city more beautiful as Sevilla and a program as well structured as my partnership through ISA . I stayed with a host family which is essential to cultural integration. Living and talking to natives everyday encouraged me actively participate in the Spanish lifestyle. One of the greatest parts about going global is the process of becoming a more critical thinker and develop more creative approaches to solving problems. ISA provides a fantastic platform to explore such a historic city.

Studying abroad in Sevilla was the best thing I’ve done in college! I went with a group of people from my school to study international marketing. Right upon arriving in Spain ISA greeted us at the airport and took us to our new homes for the month. I was very intimidated at the first place we stopped to eat not knowing ANY Spanish but somehow I made it through all month learning a lot! Throughout our whole month in Spain, ISA was constantly there to help us navigate through the city, teach us about culture, and organize events like kayaking down the river at sunset or attending a bull fight. ISA knows how scary it is to be in another culture with new surroundings and they make it very easy to adjust and fall in love with the city. Sevilla is a large city but with a small town feel. It is so easy to get lost in the little streets but somehow we would always make it back to Plaza de Cuba! The coolest part about Spain was all of the tapas restaurants. My favorite thing to do was go and order a bunch of dishes I couldn’t even pronounce off the menu to try all the original Spanish dishes (including payaya which is a must!). A little piece of my heart will always be left in Sevilla and I can’t wait for the opportunity to go back again thanks to ISA!

Sevilla is an amazing city in the south of Spain. I had never visited prior to studying abroad and had no clue what to really expect and I was blown away! During the 6 weeks I spent in Sevilla with ISA, I completely fell in love with the city. It really just is an absolutely beautiful city and I loved to walk everywhere to really appreciate the history and the culture. I stayed with a host family which really helped me improve my Spanish and helped me really immerse myself in the culture. The classes taught by ISA staff were really interesting and the staff members would take us on field trips to places in the city (ie. the market, the cathedral, etc.) to help us gain a more well-rounded understanding of the Spanish culture. In addition, we took weekend excursions to other nearby cities like Cordoba, Granada, Cordoba, Jerez and Malaga which really allowed us to see other parts of Andalucia that we might not have visited if we were to go on our own. My only regret is that I did not study abroad in Sevilla for longer as the 6 weeks flew by!

My time in Sevilla was incredible. The city itself is has so much to offer and is straight from the pages of a fairy tale book, from its picturesque streets to its friendly inhabitant. My walk to school led me down along the river and through the park. During breaks between classes I would go picnic right across the street at Plaza de España aka Tatooine from Star Wars. Flamenco shows and tapas bars abound are an absolute must. Even the occasional bullfight is an experience worth having, if a little graphic for my taste. The ISA staff is incredibly helpful and personable. It was also nice that Sevilla has an airport, so that when I was able to pry myself away from the city I was able to easily travel to several other countries. Overall it was an incredible experience!

My experience with ISA in Spain was life changing. I was nervous at first, leaving the country with no family and no friends, but my expectations were exceeded. I chose to live in an apartment and the set up was amazing. Everything that we needed was provided and if there was anything else that we wanted, the ISA staff figured out a way to make us happy. The classes provided were both fun and educational, and I gained real knowledge about Spain's history and advanced my use of Spanish language. My favorite part of this program was the provided excursions to different cities in Spain and Morocco. The transportation and organization was all planned for us and our only job was to experience new culture and have fun. The on-site staff was like my family away from home. They were willing to do whatever it took to make us feel comfortable, safe, and happy. (Even if it meant coming to your hotel room every ten minutes to check on you and bring you gatorade when you are sick :)) Overall, the only complaint I have is that I couldn't stay forever!

I had the most amazing semester abroad in Sevilla, Spain. It was the perfect city for me; with plenty of history, great food and authentic culture. I knew I wanted to study abroad in Spain, but I wanted to find the right place. Sevilla has so much to do, yet doesn't feel overwhelming like Madrid or Barcelona might feel to some people. ISA was excellent in planning excursions and weekly activities. I bonded with some great friends during the first week of Orientation and had a blast traveling with them the whole semester. I always tell everyone I can about my semester in Seville. My host Mom was incredible and I loved that I was able to get better at speaking Spanish. The culture in the south of Spain is very welcoming and vibrant. There are strong cultural traditions, such as Feria and Semana Santa that are amazing to experience. If you love good food, dancing, history, adventure, and fun: Seville is the perfect place for you!!

I studied abroad in Sevilla, Spain for the spring 2014 semester. It was the most amazing experience and I learned so much about myself and about other people. Being immersed in another culture opened my eyes to many things. Going abroad through ISA made the transition from living in the U.S. to Spain so much easier. ISA is a great program and does everything that they can to provide you information about housing, safety, classes, places to sightsee, places to eat....the list goes on and on. Prior to leaving for Spain, I had about a million questions and whether I emailed or called the ISA office, they were always there to help!

I was lucky to spend the winter 2014 semester abroad in Sevilla, España. I had always wanted to study abroad in Argentina but by some luck, I traveled to Sevilla. This semester was by far the best experience of my life. I loved how supportive the ISA administration was in terms of helping us get the most out of our study abroad experience and putting us in contact with volunteer experiences that seemed most interesting to us. In addition I loved the cultural excursions we could participate in. It was a great way to meet natives and delve into the rich Spanish culture. Walking through Barrio Santa Cruz or watching the sunrise over the cathedral are some of my most fond memories. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything and am extremely grateful to ISA for all their hard work to make this semester the best!

I visited my sister when she studied abroad in Spain and I knew I wanted to study abroad there, too. I also had a lot of background with the Spanish language and wanted to know more about its history and culture. Spain is so enchanting/magnetic that I was hooked the first time I stepped off the plane. My most memorable experience was when I met my best friend and another friend in Madrid. We spent the entire weekend navigating the city and its sites! Self-sufficient I truly can be! That experience along with studying abroad in general gave me a lot more confidence.

ISA Sevilla was a perfect program. From the initial questions about studying abroad, to the pickup from the airport, and the duration of my time in Seville, ISA staff was friendly and helpful. There wasn't a time where I didn't think I was getting my money's worth. The planned excursions were well organized and city events were interesting and applicable to the culture of the city. ISA truly helped make my whole experience of studying abroad wonderful.

Overall, the ISA made my experience 100% better. They have a wonderful group of people working for them in Sevilla. The staff at the ISA was always interested in hearing about your day or to just listen to you when you needed to vent about a situation. Hands down, one of the best decisions that I have made (city and program!).

I could not have had a better or more thought evoking experience than I had in Sevilla! I learned so much about Spain, different cultures, and myself. The memories I have gained from this opportunity will be held onto and reflected on for years to come. This program has my highest recommendation!

Everything you're looking for in a study abroad company.. ISA has! From the price, to included excursions and especially the staff- ISA is the best hands down. The on-site staff in Sevilla were absolutely amazing, they were helpful, fun, and just great people all around! Sevilla is the most beautiful city in the world and there is everything a student needs in order to have the best study abroad experience. From the bars and clubs, to the food, the locals, everything is new and exciting! There are always new streets to get lost in and different experiences every night in the city! I recommend studying in Sevilla whole heartedly with ISA!

I think that if you’re considering coming to Sevilla through Student Voyage, you should definitely go. You will be completely immersed in the culture and living with a host family is a great experience.

I haven’t been here for very long, but I am really enjoying the program. The host family is really good and we go on great weekend trips around Spain and Portugal and such. I am having so much fun!

So far, this has been the best experience of my life and I highly recommend this experience to anyone with the ability to partake in this opportunity.

I love it here, my only regret is I won't be here much longer. My advice for anyone considering study abroad, go for a fun semester or a year. You will love wherever you go and you won't want to leave.

The academics are good; however, it is sometime discouraging because I would rather enjoy the country. It was an amazing experience.

One of the best experiences of my life

It was such a great experience! It's annoying going to class but the experience is totally worth it!

Coming abroad was the best decision I ever made. I've made so many friends and learned so much about myself and Spain!

You'll make the best friends and memories you may (or may not) remember

I love Sevilla! ISA is a great program, but the supplemental program I'm in, Veritas, is really unorganized. It is a missions work program. But I love my classes and Sevilla is beautiful!

I loved it but felt like I was not as immersed as I could have been. I spent mostly all day at school where I spoke English with American students. I would have like to lived with Spanish students.

Loved this program and I cannot wait to return to Santander! Academics: The classes started late (this is Spain, so that was not a surprise. Culturally, there is not the same emphasis on schedule.) but the professors were fabulous for the most part. I studied globalization of economics, international relations, international marketing, and a few other business courses. The Spanish program struggled due to scheduling of professors, but it is a smaller program so they have more flexibility for student needs. Living Situation: My host family was amazing and the majority of students in the program had really wonderful experiences in home-stays. Cultural Immersion: Because it is a smaller city, with a small study abroad program, there is a great opportunity to full immerse yourself in the culture. Program Administration: The organization was lacking but across the board the program was friendly.

I had a great time in Sevilla, largely because the city itself is incredible. My program was good: the leaders were great and the other students offered lots of diverse personalities. The program had a ton of cool trips (to Lisbon, Granada, Cordoba and Morocco and other activities. A lot of the fun I had came from just going out with friends and socializing with Spaniards, some of whom became good friends.

ISA helped me connect the Spanish language to a beautiful country with a vibrant culture. I learned how to embrace this experience and found myself taking opportunities I never would have taken in the United States. It has been an amazing experience.
