I have absolutely no regrets about this program. I gained great friends, language skills, and international and intercultural experience while having an amazing time. Kathleen Sands - Washington and Lee University View Entire Review
I learned more about myself...I learned how selfish I could be and how different my lifestyle was compared to others. I was very humbled by my experience. I learned how exhilarating it is to travel and speak in a different language. I gained a new group of friends, a new life, and a new part of myself.

My experience abroad was one of the most life-changing experiences of my life. I discovered a new culture, learned a new language, made lifelong friends and made unforgettable memories. Melissa Bowman - University of Hawaii - Manoa View Entire Review
I gained a ton of language skills, and a ton of cultural experience. I learned how beautiful it is to be fully immersed in another culture and to take some of those things back with you as a part of your own culture. I became changed for the better by my experiences there. The most worthwhile experience of my life. A student - Concordia University Nebraska View Entire Review
Yes. It made me more culturally aware. Natalie S - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
It definitely was worthwhile. I learned the value of learning from your mistakes. I learned that you don't need to get on a plane to have an adventure and you don't need to spend money to have a good time. I gained new friendships and families. Additionally, I have made unforgettable memories along the way. Ruth - Amherst College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about Spanish language and culture. I also learned about travel, stepping out of my comfort zones, adapting to new environments, and being more independent. Study abroad taught me a lot of lifelong skills. Tessa - University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse View Entire Review
an incredible cultural education A student - Colorado State University View Entire Review
I learned that although we are all distinct individuals that come from many cultures and backgrounds, oftentimes we have more in common than we do different. I learned just as much about myself and my own culture as I did about Spain's, and almost three years later, I still continue to learn from my experience each and every day...

YES! Study abroad is such a life-changing experience. You learn so much about yourself as a person and you realize your inner strength. I highly recommend it to all students. Alicia K - Bryant University View Entire Review
Yes, my study abroad experience was worthwhile. I gave this program a 5 star rating because of the sheer amount of improvement in my Spanish and the knowledge I gained of another culture during my semester abroad. Studying in Spain is a fabulous way to get to know the origins of Spanish speaking cultures in the world and to expl... Emily M - Concordia University - Wisconsin View Entire Review
About
Cádiz, founded in approximately 1,100 B.C., is the oldest city in Europe. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, Cádiz is only accessible by the “Puerta de Tierra,” a strip of land that once served as protection from invasion, and now serves as the only entrance into the city. Though many ancient ruins are now covered by the ocean or modern construction, the rich history of Cádiz is evident everywhere. Monuments, cathedrals, palaces, mansions and homes have been restored to add to the modern beauty of the city. Visitors delight in the Catedral Vieja, Catedral Nueva, the Museo Provincial and the Museo Histórico. Cádiz is known for its charm, great seafood, relaxed atmosphere, clean air and warm southern Spanish hospitality. API students can see why people settled here centuries ago, and why they come today to “step back in time” to experience a true southern Spanish lifestyle.
The Universidad de Cádiz traditionally belonged to the University of Western Andalusia, centralized within the Rectorado of Seville. It gained its independence and became the Universidad de Cádiz in the early 1980s. The University has been welcoming international students for almost 50 years. The foreign language department continues to expand and attract more and more international students each year. The main branch of the three-campus university system is located in Cádiz. Students who choose to study abroad in Cádiz can enjoy the feel of this modern campus, which still retains the old world charm of this fascinating city.
