hey--
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with study abroad programs through IES or ISA?? I want to go to Spain in the Spring, but my university's program is Spanish-only and comes back in late June, a bit too late for me. I don't get to keep all of my scholarship at either, but I'll get to apply ~$3k of it. I'm looking at these two programs primarily:
IES, Granada:
https://www.iesabroad.org/IES/Progra...a/granada.html Can apply for scholarships (up to $3K), ~$12K w/o extra scholarships
Have the option of a dorm
ISA, Sevilla:
http://www.studiesabroad.com/program...ssion/ISVW2408 ~$7K can't apply for scholarships
Get placed wherever you get placed (homestay most common)
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the study abroad companies and if anyone had any experience with homestays... should I avoid them?? Is the extra money of IES worth it?? Also are the english courses held at the university or at the study abroad center??
Thanks for your help!!!
