Program Reviews:
Early Start Fall 2018 Participant
San Andrés is a small university with amazing classes, but my favorite part of the experience was actually due to the host family I was placed with. They supported me and helped me navigate around the city. Very quickly, it felt like they became family to me. Living with a host family also gave me a lot more time to practice Spanish and learn about cultural events in the city.

Early Start Fall 2018 Participant
The classes are challenging. You enroll in classes alongside native speakers and are expected to put in the same amount of work or more. The first week or so, I didn't understand any of the lecture. But professors are very supportive and they are willing to spend a lot of time working with you. By the end of this program, your Spanish will improve dramatically. Seeing my Spanish grow was the most rewarding thing. By the end of my semester, I was understanding the entire lecture and could participate in class in a way I couldn't even have imagined at the beginning of the semester. You get to see your own growth.

Olivia Marcene Jensik, Spring 2014 Participant
I improved my language skills substantially, through living with a host family but also through taking classes that were completely in Spanish.
