I gained a second language. It was worthwhile. Gina Monahan - Temple University View Entire Review
Absolutely Juli S - Temple University View Entire Review
I guess I should start off by saying I did not have the typical study abroad experience. I struggled with a lot before and during the program. There were definitely things about the location that didn't work out for me - I struggled to adjust to the food, I found it hard to make friends who were not in my group, I got bored very...

I can't count what I gained from this program - myriad memories were formed, as well as a really great grasp on the Spanish language and culture. I wish I could've spent two semesters in Oviedo. Amy F - Temple University View Entire Review
I learned that I love America and its culture more than I'd thought. Spaniards in the north are fairly judgmental, but Oviedo is super cheap and has so many things to do... There are a myriad of bars and cafés and there's a train and bus station to travel around. Dave F - Temple University View Entire Review
I learned to say yes to every experience that might put me out of my comfort zone. Robert R - Temple University View Entire Review
It was incredibly worthwhile. I left Spain a confident Spanish speaker with a good cultural sense of the country. I made great friends, saw incredible nature and man made wonders, and had a blast. Absolutely would not trade my semester in Oviedo for anything. Sug K - Temple University View Entire Review
An incredible appreciation and deep love of Spanish culture. Drastic language improvement. Completely worthwhile. Matthew B - Temple University View Entire Review
I gained a whole different perspective on the culture and it was totally worthwhile A student - Temple University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about other cultures that let me look at my own life as an American from a different perspective. As my first experience out of the country, I would say it was definitely worthwhile. fiona.galzarano - Temple University View Entire Review
About
If you are committed to developing your Spanish language skills and understanding of Spanish culture, Temple's Spring Semester in Spain program offers an unparalleled opportunity for you. Based at the University of Oviedo, this program provides an immersive linguistic and cultural experience, combining in-class language instruction with a homestay and daily interaction with Oviedo citizens. Removed from the heavy tourism of other Spanish towns, Oviedo, the capital of Asturias, is rich in Spanish history and culture and offers easy access to nearby cities, the mountains and the coast. This off-the-beaten-path location provides students with a truly authentic experience. You'll not only improve your language skills, but you'll learn about the region's traditions, history and cuisine, and you might even learn to cook local dishes from your host family!As a program participant, you will be enrolled in the Cursos de Lengua y Cultura Españolas para Extranjerosprogram, which for 35 years has offered courses in Spanish language and culture to international students. An integral part of the university, the program offeres a broad range of courses, conducted in Spanish at the intermediate and advanced levels, and is housed at La Casa de las Lenguas, a center dedicated to language learning on the university's Campus de El Milán.
