Overall Experience
Yes it was worthwhile, I learned that I just have to be myself and not really care about what other people think about. Also, that everyone has the same problems whether they speak English or Spanish or are gay or straight or whatever. People are just people, all with the same problems. - Nebraska Wesleyan University View Entire Review
My experience abroad helped me to better understand the Spanish culture and lifestyles. The month abroad, immersed in a foreign country, helped me to gain some perspective on my life back home. Definitely a worthwhile experience! - St. Joseph's College New York View Entire Review
yes yes yes and YES - California State University - Fullerton View Entire Review
100 % Alicante changed my life and my career! After I came back from Alicante I changed my career to Spanish. I am curretly working on my master and will be a High School Spanish teacher at the end of May! - St. Joseph's College New York View Entire Review

About

Our Summer Language and Culture Program is offered to students with all levels of Spanish proficiency (from true beginner to nearly fluent) every June at the University of Alicante, and provides students with 4-6 credits (reccomended) and 80 hours of classroom instruction as well as a full schedule of cultural activities outside of the classroom including visits to Madrid, Granada and Valencia, the annual city festival known as Las Hogueras, local visits to the Castillo Santa Barbara and Lucentum, the Roman ruins that were the foundation of Alicante as the city it is today.

Spanish Language and Culture

This program allows students at all levels of language proficiency to participate. The unique program offered at the University of Alicante is a 12-tiered language program which makes it possible for students to study with a group of international students (not only American students) whose language skills are very close to their own. Class size is small (10-15) and all professors are experienced language teachers working full time at the University of Alicante. The Spanish Language and Culture program provides 60 hours of structured language instruction, 20 hours of formal class time dedicated to culture and 20 hours dedicated to experiential activities to learn about culture first hand.
