Summer 2022 Participant
The utilization of host families pushed and improved my ability to converse in Spanish about a variety of topics.

George S Depew, Summer 2015 Participant
I enjoyed the daily trips we took in my literary course. It was amazing to read about these locations rich in culture then less than an hour later go visit that place and compare the representation in literature to the actual place.

Summer 2023 Participant
Honestly, my favorite part of the program was my host family because of how much I was able to learn by sharing our perspectives, and how welcoming they were to my roommate and I. They ensured that we felt comfortable in our new home and were flexible with eating times. Initially, it was difficult to understand their Spanish, but by the time I left Spain, I felt like I could have a normal conversation with them.
