Academic Year Study Abroad

While studying abroad is the perfect way to experience another country, make new friends from all over, and travel the world, there is one problem that goes along with it. The biggest regret of many study abroad students? The whole thing goes by too fast. When looking back on their experiences, students who study abroad wish they would have had longer to embrace the new lifestyle and more deeply immerse themselves in the local culture. Students that choose to study abroad for a full academic year will have time to truly settle in and make the most of their time, so why not give yourself a real shot?

The best way to spend a semester!

July 18, 2025by: Taylor Wilson - United StatesProgram: API: Experience Granada, Spain (Scholarships Available)
10

Studying abroad with API was the best possible way to spend a semester in college! A few things I loved in particular about Granada & API: (1) Support offered by resident directors: whether you need help changing your courses on the first week of class or just need someone to talk to, they are always there and are the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. (2) Host family: they were so welcoming and always made me feel at home; it also gave me the chance to practice the language far more than I would’ve been able to living in a dorm or apartment with other exchange students. (3) City: Granada is a fascinating mix of old and new, big and small, and full of the most beautiful spots that look like they’re straight out of a movie. (4) Travel: Granada also allows you to travel easily; you can take the two hour Alsa bus ride to the Málaga airport to find flights headed almost anywhere you can imagine, or explore one of the countless day trips just a bus or train ride away. Overall, I can’t recommend studying abroad in Granada with API enough. I can assure you that you’ll return with broadened global perspectives and memories that will last a lifetime.
