Amy Jonson, one of our Seminole Ambassadors, spent four weeks in Spain last summer with the Study Abroad Program. In Spain, she and thirty other FSU students shared a college dorm with Spanish students. Though she did take a formal Spanish class, Amy feels that she enhanced her language study mostly through her experiences in Spain and her interaction with the citizens there. Courses are designed to take advantage of the rich history surrounding these historic cities. Several of the programs offer walking tours to historic sites as part of their studies.
Many programs have weekend outings, as classes are structured to allow for three-day weekends.
There is also a mid-semester break during which students are encouraged to travel to surrounding areas.
