I gained confidence in speaking, which I never could have gotten in the states. It was definitely worthwhile to experience Latin America and the different culture. I had visited Spain, but this was completely different. Ellie B - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I absolutely loved my time in the culture and using the language. The program itself, expenses and challenges considered, I do not believe was worth it. It's hard to say whether I would do the same thing again or not because I loved my time there though I did not appreciate many aspects of the program. jessica.phillips.7965 - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I gained a lot of ability with my spanish speaking skills. I gained a fantastic second family, and I made friends and memories that I'm sure will last a lifetime. Karolyn I - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review

I would say this experience was very worthwhile. I learned a great deal about the culture of South America and was able to visit some very interesting places. Loren T - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
Most definitely. It has greatly improved my spanish speaking skills and I am so glad that I choose to come to Chile. It was a great two months. I plan on majoring in Spanish along with Accounting and hopefully I can find a job that involves both. Hayley T - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
My experience abroad has impacted me greatly, I wasn't expecting the culture to be so different from the U.S. However, coming here as made me realize that I chose the right career path for me because I want to teach English to non-native English speakers.

Besides improving my spanish speaking and writing skills, I now better understand people of different cultures and it opened my eyes to many things in the world, outside the USA, that I would have not realized if I had not came here. Kenzie S - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
CISP in Arica, Chile is definitely worthwhile if you are looking for an authentic immersion experience and culturally is very enriching. The Chileans are wonderful in welcoming and supporting the students through the experience and are eager to help. This experience was definitely life changing for me and I will never forget e...

Besides gaining Spanish skills and improving as a student, I feel like I learned a lot about myself while having the chance of a lifetime to travel to another country. It was definitely worth it, and I would love to go back! A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
Yes. I learned how important it is to stand your own; don't let others get you down and learn as much as possible because you're only there once...also don't be exclusive. A student - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
Real world experience that was SO worth it! Shelby C - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
I learned so much about the culture in Chile, but also about my own culture. I have a much greater respect for people that come to the U.S. to learn English; it must be very challenging for them. I believe that after traveling to Chile, I can now easily have a conversation in Spanish and be able to understand someone else. I ... Dawn K - University of Northern Iowa View Entire Review
YES! I accomplished my goal that I wanted to be able to speak well enough to continue a conversation and be able to understand Spanish speakers while they are speaking together. I plan on returning here in the future to study for another semester because I loved it so much! I also would be interested in working here in the futur...

I would do this program again in a heartbeat. I loved how close everyone was by the end of the trip, and everyone we interacted with was so helpful. I had so many people ask me why I was going to Chile, and my default answer was always to learn Spanish, but I have learned so much more than just a new language. Their culture is s...
