The Experience of a Lifetime

May 14, 2025by: Audrey Hankins - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Granada, Spain
10

My time in Granada was nothing short of amazing, and lots of that has to do with ISA. I work in the study abroad office at my home university, so I have worked firsthand with other, competing programs, and I can confidently say that ISA is unmatched. The applications are straightforward, help is easy to find, and there is no shortage of information on the website—things that are not true of other programs. Prior to departure, I received an extensive arrival guide, one for me and another one for my family. This included information from where I could buy deodorant, to what to do when I got sick and an overview of the current popular music in Spain. This hands-on approach only continued when I arrived in Granada. I never felt alone or lost, and there were multiple activities offered every week to make sure we were getting involved in the community. In short, choosing ISA and ISA Granada was truly one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Incredible experience!

I have always wanted to study abroad, but I never expected an experience like this one, as provided to me through ISA. Milan was an absolutely incredible city, and ISA led me through the changes perfectly, with clear instructions and constant open communication. If you get the chance, study abroad with ISA- the community this company builds among students abroad is unmatched, and the quality of employees is exactly what's necessary for a dramatic change like going abroad.

Live Your Dreams

February 27, 2025by: Breeze Kelly - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Valencia, Spain

I always dreamed to study abroad and finally doing it was the best experience of my life! I traveled to 6 different countries while I was abroad and made life long friends. I’ll never forget the memories I made in Valencia. A piece of me will always remain there! Fulfill your dreams, do it even if you’re sacred, I was too! It turned out to be better than I could have imagined.

I chose to study abroad because I never left my hometown to go to college. I felt like I was missing out on the college experience because I didn't even live in a dorm or have a meal plan. College to me was just an expansion of high school; same friends, same place, same life. I needed time for me, I needed to get away, if just for a few months, I needed to feel that sense of independence and homesickness. I wanted to live a little.

I decided to study abroad because I had always wanted to travel and see the world. I also thought it would be a great learning experience being on my own and far away from my support system for the first time in my life. The hard part was deciding where to study. The possibilities are endless!

I searched high and low for the perfect study abroad program. For me, ISA had the best balance of cultural integration, scholastics, and FUN. It was evident to me that their top priority was ensuring we had the best possible experience before, during, and after our trip. I couldn’t have asked for a better program.
