DISSTA Study Spanish Abroad : The University of Akron, Ohio

The Spanish Experience is an immersion learning experience spent living and studying in Spain. The program is centered in the city of Valladolid, whose university (UVa) was founded in the early 13th century by Alfonso VIII, King of Castile. The classes are held in the Miguel Delibes campus, located about 10 minutes outside of downtown Valladolid. In addition to studying Spanish at the university, the students live with Spanish families (who do not speak English!). This will not only give them the chance to improve their Spanish speaking skills, but they will get the opportunity to experience first-hand the Spanish lifestyle and culture.

All travel within the country is covered within the trip pricing. This includes trips to Penafel, Avila, Burgos, Segovia, Salamanca and Santander. Pick up and drop off at MAD Airport is also included.

Airfare is not included in trip pricing.
