As I look at my Christmas tree with small ornaments of trinkets from around the world and reflect upon the many memories of world travels and international relationships in my life, I realize that it all began with my study abroad experience at the Spanish American Institute in Sevilla, Spain, through UW Platteville. As a college student with limited financial resources and opportunities, the study abroad experience in Sevilla was a life changin... Read more
I spent the spring semester of 2006 in Sevilla, and it truly blew me away. So much so that I HAD to return the following spring. So I spent a total of 1 year there and it was honestly the best year of my life. I have very few criticisms of the program at the Spanish-American Institute. The class sizes were small, which was an awesome change from back home. I really felt like all of the professors not only were experts in their fields, but they de... Read more
This program provides the wonderful life experience of living in another country: learning the language and culture, and provides opportunities to visit both sites within Sevilla and in other European cities. There is not as much emphasis on schooling, which allows students more time to spend on travelling and learning/enjoying European culture. Read more
I had the time of my life during my semester abroad. I met a lot of new people, American, Spanish and others, and made lifelong friends. My Señora was nothing short of wonderful and the academic program was engaging and very experiential. I would recommend the program to any student, not just those studying Spanish, as I myself was not a Spanish major or minor. A program such as this will change your perspective in the best way possible. Read more
This was the best experience anyone could ever have, it helps you mature and grow into a world traveler and immerse yourself into a new culture and learn a new language! Read more
If you don't go, you are making a mistake. Not only do you pick up the language, but the things learned outside of class and the people met are even more useful. Expect great weather and a lot of fun. Read more
I LOVED LOVED LOVED Sevilla and everything about it!!! I had a wonderful host mom and roommates. It was life changing and everyone should have this experience. Sevilla is the perfect size city that you can walk around and discover everything without taking a bus or train. The people are really nice at school and in the city in general. It was nice to have small classes and all of the teachers were really helpful. The administration is very nice a... Read more
My study abroad experience opened my eyes to a whole new world! By living with a host family in Spain, I was completely immersed in the culture, food, and traditions. Through a partnering program with local Spainards, I learned the language and made wonderful friends. This program felt tight knit so it was easy to get to know other students. They organized optional weekend trips to other cities which were a blast and also gave us the flexibility... Read more
Studying abroad with SAIIE was a wonderful experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's nice that it wasn't a huge school, so they could spend more quality time getting to know their students. Living with a host family is something I wouldn't trade. You learn a lot with that experience alone. Not only will you improve your Spanish skills, but you'll learn a ton about the culture too! Read more
If you want to learn the Spanish language, are interested in traveling throughout Spain and Europe, and have an open mind to new experiences then this program is for you! I had an AMAZING overall experience throughout my semester studying abroad in Seville, Spain. The teachers were some of the best teachers that I have ever had. They were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and really cared about the progress of their students. I was able to apply t... Read more
I had an amazing semester in Spain. I loved my senora and the class I took. I traveled to a different town in Spain almost every weekend and really got a good feel of the country. I can't wait to go back! There were a few problems, nothing is perfect, but overall I loved it. Read more

Sevilla is a beautiful city with even better weather. Learn the European version of the Christopher Colombus tale. Dance Flamenco with the gypsies, go to the summer Feria in style. Meet locals strolling the streets each night (La Movida!!)
Eat Manchego cheese and JAMON!! Drink Sangria, lots and lots of Sangria. Study the history of the Moorish empire that left Sevilla with beautiful architecture and tile that keeps you cool in the summer.

I studied abroad with this program back in 2003 and it was one of the most memorable times of my life. My host family was hospitable and made me feel as part of their family. I took all my courses in Spanish and found the courses to be very challenging. I highly recommend this program for students interested in Studying abroad in Sevilla. Read more
This program was great. I lived in a great home stay, took all my courses in Spanish, and brought my Spanish from conversational to near fluent. The program was full of diverse students and all the teachers and administrators were very helpful and knowledgeable. Sevilla itself is one of the coolest cities in the world. Chalk full of history, fun, partying, and southern Spain at its best. I'd highly recommend this program. Read more
Going abroad with UW-P was the best decision I ever made! I was a Spanish major in college and really needed an immersion program to improve my verbal skills. All my classes were in Spanish (except Mouments of Seville...a great class to see the city, ps)The teachers were wonderful and I learned an incredible amount (and got a full semester worth of credit!) The city is beautiful and there was always something to see and do. I would absolutely... Read more
Going abroad has been the best experience of my life thus far. I couldn't have asked for a better study abroad experience. I stayed with a host family and took all of my classes, which really helped with cultural immersion. The staff at SAIIE is so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. They make a huge effort to make all of the material relevant to better your cultural experience. The program directors work closely with students to make sure ever... Read more
I really loved this program. It is smaller program than many others offered in the city. You get smaller class sizes, and more one on one attention. The faculty and administration are amazing and really. I would do this program all over again if I could. Read more
My time in Sevilla, Spain most certainly changed my entire career in Spanish: it was the turning point for me! I finally gained the confidence I needed to SPEAK Spanish, not just read or write it. Of course, as I am now a high school Spanish teacher, such confidence is critical:) Thank you for setting me up with a kind family, superb educators, and friendly administrators. This was a life-changing experience to be sure! Read more

Overall,
I did learn a lot about the Spanish culture and their way of life. I did get to try many new things and see beautiful places that will remain in my memories forever. As for the program it could be way better. Looking back, as it was over 4 years ago, I have now graduated and started my career I have never regreted my decision to study abroad, maybe I should have explored my options more but I did have a fantastic time and yes I do plan...
