Comments From Students

"After the initial orientation in Madrid, I interacted almost every day, in and out of class with my professors. I also had many opportunities, while traveling and while at home in my city, to speak with other locals.."
Erica Barton, University of Wyoming

"I wanted to experience another culture as well as improve my Spanish. These two goals were met well. The first I accomplished through living in a homestay with a woman and also in traveling during my days off. I improved my Spanish by speaking with other Spanish speakers and by taking classes.."
Kelly Castano, Rowan University

"I couldn't have asked for a better homestay experience. Lola, the woman my sister and I lived with, was one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever met.."
Lyndsy Castano, Rowan University

"Logrono is a wonderful city and provides the opportunity to study Spanish in a beautiful setting. The professors and staff at the University are always willing to help with a question. The international relations department went out of its way to help me with some extracurricular activities I wished to pursue."
Christopher Arp, Luther College

"Studying abroad gave me an opportunity to meet and make friends from all parts of the world. Now that I have friends that are Arabian, Chinese, French, Spanish, German, and other nationalities, I am more aware of these countries and their interactions with the United States and also more concerned about their current events."
Nicole Weber, Northern Michigan University

"My ISA Direct experience was amazingly rewarding. I traveled, perfected my Spanish, and made lifelong friends. I would go again in a heartbeat and encourage anyone to consider this program."
Kelly Erickson, University of Northern Colorado

"Studying abroad in Logroño through ISA Direct has been one of my favorite undergraduate experiences! I absolutely loved the small-town environment and it was great to use Spanish on a daily basis, whether I was in class, with friends, or at home with my host family. The three months I spent in Spain were extremely rewarding! I have so many amazing memories!"
Anita Cservenka, UCLA

"For independent students wishing to discover European universities firsthand and immerse themselves in the culture free of other Americans, ISA Direct is the right way to go."
Katie Stoker, University of Florida

"A university on the sea with great students and professors!"
Robert Ty Wolosin, The University of Montana
