**Comment:

For the most part I loved my clases. There was one teacher that I had for 2 of my four classes that was pretty boring and did not use very effective teaching methods. But my other two teachers were great. I wish i could have been with Spanish locals too.

If applicable, to what degree did your living situation aid your language acquisition?

**Housing satisfaction:

**Comment:

I lived in an apartment building with a Spanish lady. I had my own room, but another girl from my program lived in the same apartment with me. My senora was fabulous and a great cook. I lived in Nervion on Rico Cejudo.

It was really far from the center of town, but by the end of my trip I liked that I was able to see this side of Sevilla. The only problem was that I had to pay a lot of extra money for cabs and metro usage.

Food Overall

**Food satisfaction:

**Comment:

Victoria is a great cook.

Safety and Health Overall

**How well were health issues addressed through your program?

**Safety:

**Comment:

Sevilla feels so safe.

Money Overall

**How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?

General Assessment Overall

**Words of wisdom:

Wait to travel after the program or during Semana Santa. I wish I had stayed in Sevilla for more weekend than I did. You will buy so many clothes while you are there (esp. girls) so underpack.

**If you could do it all over again, would you choose the same program?

Yes

**Overall satisfaction with your study abroad experience:

**Was your study abroad experience worthwhile?

I learned a lot about my self and improved my Spanish skills while having a wonderful time.
