International College of Seville S. L. — Local services in Seville

I highly recommend that you choose another program for studying in Seville, especially if you are planning to stay an entire year. Despite having run this program for over 40 years, the staff are unable to provide any information/support about visa processes/requirements (more complex for a year-long student) and they cannot report attendance to the US government, so our student loans went out of forbearance and we had to start paying. The day my daughter was traveling back to Spain for semester 2, Juan Duro emailed me and told me never to contact them again, that my daughter can fend for herself. She was also nearly abducted by an Uber driver and I asked the program to help her submit a police report and they did nothing. barely sent me a response. In fact, they treated her like she was making it up. UNBELIEVABLE. They are super unorganized. I studied in Seville on the UW Platteville program 30 years ago...I learned SO much about the culture...my daughter did not have that experience. GO elsewhere...too important an experience to bungle with these people.

My daughter does not have a favorable attitude about ICS and it is not appropriate to misrepresent her opinions in your response. ICS should not be accepting direct applications for enrollment because you don't have the ability to report attendance for student loan forbearance and you have no ability to support visa processes. After 40 years running a program you would think these would be issues you are aware of, rather than say its my financial issues that have nothing to...

Studying abroad at the International School of Sevilla made the transition from studying (and living) in another country easier. Studying in a different country for the first time, where everything is different, ICS provided wonderful support and hospitality to enjoy a semester. During my first few weeks here in Sevilla I had lost my phone, wallet, and keys. With no navigation, communication, or local friends, cultural shock was hitting in full force. The entire staff, especially Lisa, Gina, and Sandra went through endless restrictions in retrieving my necessities. Additionally, they were filled with local knowledge of places to visit, must experience activities, trendy tapas bars, and most importantly wisdom to regroup myself. As for the curriculum itself, it was full of many different Andalusian traditions. Day and weekend trips through treasure spots in Andalusia made for exciting educational learning environments. Cultural emersion being a top priority at ICS enabled me to participate in cooking classes of traditional recipes along with native dances with my classmates. Post experiences made me feel local! A time during the pandemic, the whole staff made the school enjoyable! My Spanish teacher Maria Jose was unbelievably kind, knowledgable, and considerate in pivoting her style of teaching to optimize her student's motivation of learning. Everybody at ICS had impacted my study abroad experience in a positive manner. Planning my next trip to Sevilla,...

I just spent a semester abroad studying at the International College of Sevilla (Fall 2022). It was an all around great experience! They handle everything for you from your classes to your housing accommodations (host families). I came to Spain because I wanted to learn Spanish and for me this was the way to do it I was able to learn so much thanks to the people at ICS. They were very eager and willing to talk story in Spanish with me to help me practice. I am also grateful for the classes I learned more in an ICS one-semester class than I would have in two years in a regular university. The faculty were extremely accommodating besides helping me practice Spanish when I asked if there was somewhere quite I could study (ppl talking in the study room) they immediately prepped a 'quite' study room. In addition providing information to students regarding libraries where you can buy what and any info you could need about Sevilla. Lastly I want to shout out the trips, the program trips were amazing always a blast and we always learned a lot from them. The trip to Morocco was my favorite. It was a great semester and I highly recommend ICS for your Spanish study...
