Studying abroad made me realize what kind of place I would like to live in. It was great being in a city. I learned a lot of positives and negatives during my stay. Isabelle M - Providence College View Entire Review
Yes. It was such a good experience living and bonding with my home-stay mates and just roaming around the city. Especially coming from a rural background, the study abroad gave me a much more expansive experience. A student - Wesleyan University View Entire Review
I feel that I gained so much insight on the world by studying abroad. I had traveled around Europe a lot before coming here, but I feel that living in a new place opened my eyes up to Europe, and the world, so much more. It also gave me a lot more confidence in who I am, and I feel that I am still finding ways that studying abro... Casey M - University of Minnesota - Duluth View Entire Review
I returned having such a greater appreciation for everything that shaped me into the person I am today. The cool thing is, is that this respect only continues to thrive now that I am becoming more educated on world events and international history. The thirst for knowledge upon return seems insatiable and the drive to take advan... Spencer T - Ohio State University - Columbus View Entire Review
Independence and awareness of the fun and adventure surrounding me! Danielle S - University of California - Santa Barbara View Entire Review
I gained a whole new cultural perspective in a positive way. I think the reverse culture shock is more difficult than the original culture shock I experienced upon entering Spain. I would love to go back if I could. My host family has already welcomed me back into their home. Kelsey H - University of Denver View Entire Review
My experience was worthwhile. I gained a greater cultural understanding from this program and an open mindness about the world. My future plans are to have a career where I can live and work abroad or work mfor some study abroad program. And of course, to go abroad again. Plamen I - Virginia Commonwealth University View Entire Review
Wish I could go again! I recommend it to everyone! Bethany R - University of Northern Colorado View Entire Review
YES. I became much more independent and am seeing how easy it is to travel-- I felt like it was well worth my money and would do it again in a heartbeat. Carolyn D - Creighton University View Entire Review
My experience was definitely worthwhile and YES if i could do it all over again I definitely would and I would chose the same program. I was able to open my eyes into a different kind of life, a life way different from my own and it has enabled me to keep an open mind no matter where in the world I may travel to. I plan on going... Jennifer Y - University of California - San Diego View Entire Review
I'm a semester behind because of it and I still wouldn't change a thing. Lauren G - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Every single aspect of my experience abroad was worthwhile. Even when I was pick pocketed and had to apply for a new passport in a country whose language I did not speak. Everything was a learning experience for me. Being able to experience different cultures is not something everyone gets to do. I had the opportunity to go to M... Josie D - Oklahoma State University - Stillwater View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. It taught me a lot about the Spanish culture, language, and myself in such a foreign environment. I got to see so many beautiful places and experience amazing opportunities. Even though I was homesick so of the time I was there, I now would love to go back! Caitlin N - Westminster College, MO View Entire Review
I would go again in a heartbeat. Everyone should go abroad at least once in their life and everyone should go to Granada ( I might be biased). I would also recommend and ISA programs. Kristen C - Texas A&M - College Station View Entire Review
x Carrie L - Northern Arizona University View Entire Review
I became more outgoing and more comfortable trying new things. Definitely got me interesting in art and architecture. Jenna D - Worcester Polytechnic Institute View Entire Review
YES. I learned what kind of life attitude I needed to have to be happy and how to balance work and social life. I developed a wider understanding of the way countries interact in a global economy and the impact just one ruler can have. It instilled a strong desire to continue to travel. I have become an addict :)! Maya K - Hamline University View Entire Review
My experience in Spain helped me grow as an independent person and any traveling you do in another country is super beneficial to your person. I can't wait to go again! Kathryn P - University of Puget Sound View Entire Review
Absolutely! Toni R - University of Colorado - Denver View Entire Review
If I could study abroad as a career I would. Sherman C - Ohio State University - Columbus View Entire Review
I have learned to love everyone, no matter how friendly they are to you. I have also learned that learning a different language is an extremely difficult thing, so I have more patience with those learning English. This has made me want to teach English to foreigners. Sarah G - Missouri State University View Entire Review
I had a lot of fun. It let me look at how Europeans live and think. It hasn't drastically changed my overall outlook on life. Nathaniel B - Cornell University View Entire Review
I learned how to slow down and not rush as much. This is good because I am a very impatient person. I think this was the most worthwhile thing I have ever done. I plan on teaching English in Spain once I graduate (hopefully in Granada). I want to live in Granada forever. Molly C - Clemson University View Entire Review
I think it was. It was a refreshing get away from American society and I really enjoyed that aspect of it William A - Trinity University View Entire Review
One of the best things I got out of my abroad experience was that I leaped from studying Spanish to understanding how to communicate in another language. I saw things that I'd never seen or even imagined, and I learned that there was a bigger world out there. I heard another country's opinions and how they view the world. I lear...

About
Granada was the last Moorish stronghold to be recaptured by the Christian monarchs in 1492 and, although never officially Spain's capital, its symbolic importance in the creation of modern Spain has made it a familiar name to historians and tourists alike. And though it’s historic, today Granada is a modern college town filled with a ton of opportunities to immerse yourself in its community and experience its culture.
Universidad de Granada
- Founded in 1531, the Universidad de Granada (UGR) is one of Spain’s oldest and largest universities, located in the vibrant city of Granada at the intersection of Moorish history and Spanish culture. You'll study at UGR’s Centro de Lenguas Modernas (CLM), located in the heart of the historic Realejo neighborhood, surrounded by Renaissance palaces, Gothic churches, and cobbled streets.
- Enhance your immersion through low-cost and free cultural activities, including concerts, flamenco shows, art exhibitions, and local excursions
- Practice your conversational skills through a structured language exchange program that pairs you with local Spanish students for two-way learning and cultural exchange.
