International College of Seville S. L. - Sevilla, Sevilla

The International College of Seville is such as incredible school!! I studied abroad here for a semester, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. They have amazing administrators and professors, they truly make you feel at home in Sevilla and they become your family. The program included trips to Morocco, Cordoba, Granada, and other places around Andalusia. The host moms and families are all so welcoming, and make you feel like you’re a part of their family. The school is located about 10 minutes walking from el Parque de Maria Luisa and la Plaza de España, and about 20-30 minutes from the city center. It’s a super beautiful and convenient location. I would recommend everyone to study abroad with ICS, it’s truly an amazing experience!!

Studying abroad at the International School of Sevilla made the transition from studying (and living) in another country easier. Studying in a different country for the first time, where everything is different, ICS provided wonderful support and hospitality to enjoy a semester.
During my first few weeks here in Sevilla I had lost my phone, wallet, and keys. With no navigation, communication, or local friends, cultural shock was hitting in full force. The entire staff, especially Lisa, Gina, and Sandra went through endless restrictions in retrieving my necessities. Additionally, they were filled with local knowledge of places to visit, must experience activities, trendy tapas bars, and most importantly wisdom to regroup myself.
As for the curriculum itself, it was full of many different Andalusian traditions. Day and weekend trips through treasure spots in Andalusia made for exciting educational learning environments. Cultural emersion being a top priority at ICS enabled me to participate in cooking classes of traditional recipes along with native dances with my classmates. Post experiences made me feel local! A time during the pandemic, the whole staff made the school enjoyable! My Spanish teacher Maria Jose was unbelievably kind, knowledgable, and considerate in pivoting her style of teaching to optimize her student's motivation of learning. Everybody at ICS had impacted my study abroad experience in a positive manner. Planning my next trip to Sevilla, first stop, ICS!

I loved my time at The International College of Seville! The teachers and staff were amazing and always eager to help. Everyone at the college wants to see you succeed and grow and is always willing to help. Each student is placed with a local host family so you have the opportunity to improve your Spanish while you’re there and learn more about Spanish culture. The classes are great as well! Luis is probably the best Spanish teacher I’ve ever had and I really enjoyed his class. I would recommend The International College of Seville to anyone!

I highly recommend that you choose another program for studying in Seville, especially if you are planning to stay an entire year. Despite having run this program for over 40 years, the staff are unable to provide any information/support about visa processes/requirements (more complex for a year-long student) and they cannot report attendance to the US government, so our student loans went out of forbearance and we had to start paying. The day my daughter was traveling back to Spain for semester 2, Juan Duro emailed me and told me never to contact them again, that my daughter can fend for herself. She was also nearly abducted by an Uber driver and I asked the program to help her submit a police report and they did nothing. barely sent me a response. In fact, they treated her like she was making it up. UNBELIEVABLE. They are super unorganized. I studied in Seville on the UW Platteville program 30 years ago...I learned SO much about the culture...my daughter did not have that experience. GO elsewhere...too important an experience to bungle with these people.

My daughter does not have a favorable attitude about ICS and it is not appropriate to misrepresent her opinions in your response. ICS should not be accepting direct applications for enrollment because you don't have the ability to report attendance for student loan forbearance and you have no ability to support visa processes. After 40 years running a program you would think these would be issues you are aware of, rather than say its my financial issues that have nothing to do with you.

My semester at ICS has truly been phenomenal. Everyone is kind and attentive, before and after you arrive to Seville. ICS itself organizes trips to different cities througout Southern Spain, and visits to different places, which I loved! The professors are very supportive in maintaining a work life balance and they do take into consideration that you are studying abroad. My expectations were absolutely exceeded and I would recommend this study abroad program to anyone who is looking for a transformative experience!

My experience studying abroad through the international college of Sevilla couldn’t have been any better than it was. I am overall pleased with the program, and the way the program is set up which encourages you to meet the people around you who become family in these three months. This program has allowed for me to step outside of my comfort zone, become more independent, learn about myself and even do wild things like running a half marathon. To anyone who is thinking about study abroad, I will 100% recommend it especially through this program. I am so happy with all the progress and memories from such a great semester!

My semester at ICS was truly the best, most memorable experience of my life! The staff is incredibly welcoming, accommodating, supportive, and they treat all their students like family. The program is extremely well organized; they take care of everything from classes to housing accommodations, making the transition into life in a new country so easy. The planned trips and excursions offer students with once in a lifetime travel experiences. I highly recommend anyone looking to study abroad to consider a semester at ICS!!
