Study Abroad in Seville: Full-Semester Study Abroad Programs

Going abroad is a crucial step in coming a more conscious global citizen. You truly will learn more about a culture, while simultaneously learning more about yourself. It is a challenge, but in the best way. You will be challenged to go outside of your comfort zone while also having an amazing time exploring and experiencing all realms of a different culture.

From before I arrived until the very last day, the support and assistance of SIGE was indispensable and as genuine as it gets. I can think of no other way to have achieved the level of immersion and language learning that I did without the program, and will always remember this experience as a truly unique and special time that has been the ultimate gift.

As a pre-med student who is still in the process of applying to medical schools, deciding to go abroad could be viewed as very risky. It is custom for such students to spend every semester of their undergraduate career taking rigorous classes, doing research, and shadowing doctors. Instead, I decided to go to Spain on the basis that I wanted to become as close to fluent in Spanish as possible. I accomplished this goal with flying colors thanks to the wonderful people at Spanish Institute for Global Education, as well as the knowledgeable professors at la Universidad de Sevilla. I am eternally grateful for this experience that I was provided with, and will never forget what SIGE did for me. Furthermore, my living situation was ideal for the goal that I set forth for myself. My host mom was extremely sociable and talked to me as if I was a native. That is to say, she did not slow down her lexicon to the degree that she would with a typical foreigner. Thus, every time that I talked to her I improved. Additionally, her and I became so close that I know I could visit Sevilla in a decade and still have a place to stay.
