I am so happy that I took a chance and came to Almeria for their Summer Study Abroad program! I came hoping to improve my Spanish, and I was able to learn so much with the help of my Spanish language teachers and immersing myself in the city.

The cultural visits and guided tours were great to learn about the city and Spanish history, with the day trip to Granada being one of the highlights of my experience.

I also had the privilege of meeting amazing friends that made my experience unforgettable.
