Classes are usually held in the morning four days a week. Excursions required for the Spanish Art class are usually scheduled on Fridays. The Seville program operates only once every year and runs concurrently with the UO winter and spring terms. The 2001 schedule will be available in late spring 2000. There are two main holiday periods during the Seville program, Semana Santa and Feria .
Most students live with a host Spanish family or in a guest house, called a residencia .
Housing preferences are discussed during the pre-departure class, and housing placements are made by the IIS staff in advance of students' arrival in Seville. Each student pays her or his total housing fee to IIS upon arrival in Seville. Meals are included in both the host family and the residencia accommodation. Students are not permitted to rent apartments. The program is open to undergraduates from all fields of study.
