Best immersion program in Spain I could have asked for
by: Kira Cordova - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Bilbao, SpainBilbao is a small, walkable city with great public transportation, amazing food, and stellar cultural offerings. There are numerous free exhibits and concerts every week, and I took full advantage of the cheap, incredible food options across the city. I went to Spain as a Spanish major wanting to cement my language skills, and ISA's Bilbao program let me do exactly that. Homestay was the only housing option (which I wanted), and my host family was incredible; my host parents supported my lan...

Back in high school, I spent ten days in Bilbao on a student exchange program. Since then it had always been in my heart to travel back to that city, so when I decided to look into studying abroad in college, I opted to look for a program that would allow me the opportunity to live in Bilbao. ISA offers a variety of program terms (academic year, summer, semester, month, and so on). I was attending a liberal arts college at the time, so when I noticed that ISA Bilbao had a language and liberal arts program, I knew I found what I was looking for. The people at ISA were very informative when I called to ask questions. They helped prepare me for my semester abroad by providing reading materials about the cultural transition I would be experiencing, which is a major aspect of studying abroad and one of the things everyone needs to be fully aware of before heading out.

I wanted to cement my Spanish language skills. I studied Spanish, and I knew I needed immersion to become fluent. I also wanted to travel; I had never left the United States before I studied abroad, and I wanted to see other countries. I also wanted to become comfortable traveling by myself. Study abroad seemed like the solution to all of the above!
