“Coming to Alicante to study abroad was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The city has an amazing small community vibe and is extremely welcoming to visitors. Not a day has gone by where there wasn’t something exciting going on. From playing “fútbol” with locals and other students to going to the beach or on a hike, excitement of adventure and learning was always present!”

“My semester in Alicante has been incredible. I love going to tapas and to el Barrio with the friends I have made through the program. All of the relationships I have and memories I have made will be forever. I have been tutoring a little boy named Nicolás and he is wonderful. Also, my host mom Dolores has impacted my experience. She is amazing and adorable plus her food is delicious. Overall my experience has been one for the books and I wouldn't change anything.”

“I have had the most amazing experience teaching at IES Haygon this semester. My kids were very lively but they were super interested in learning English. I feel like I learned just as much from them as they learned from me and I would have changed my experience for the world!”
