Seville fits the bill for the archetypal Spain of intimate flamenco venues, crowded tapas bars and orange-tree scented squares busy with the throng of cheerful “Sevillanos”. The lively historic center encompasses the Real Alcázar (Royal Palace), Cathedral and Giralda Tower and the Barrio Santa Cruz (historic Jewish Quarter) and embodies the city’s rich cultural heritage as a Moorish capital and a prosperous 16th-century trading port. There is plenty to do, see and explore when you study abroad in Seville. The university campus is located 30 minutes by subway from the city center.

Say ‘hola’ to Jhanvee, a college student from @WestVirginiaU who took over the AIFS Abroad Instagram story recently to answer questions about what it’s like to study abroad in Seville, Spain during her spring semester! Tune in as Jhanvee highlights what a typical day in the life looks like there.
Living with a homestay family is the best way to immerse yourself in the language and culture of Spain and students choosing this option find that it is often the most rewarding part of their study abroad experience.
For an additional fee students can opt to live in a fully furnished apartment with other AIFS students. Apartments are within a student residence.

Edu Padial
Hola! My name is Edu and I have been working for AIFS since 2007, when I began coordinating language exchanges for AIFS students in Granada my hometown. From there, I began organizing more activities, weekend trips and even summer programs, which I continue to work on to this day. I studied Tourism and Work Science, an MBA, and then I worked and studied in London which was a great experience.
I love playing sports such as football, going snowboarding, running and so on. Another passion of mine is traveling, so it is a pleasure to work for AIFS, where I get to travel a lot, as well as enjoy all the activities we arrange for students. Each semester is a new experience and I absolutely love hearing about all your adventures!
I look forward to showing you Seville and sharing my language and the Spanish culture with you all.

Social identity & access
One of the best things you can do before departure is enter into the journey knowing that your time abroad will be unique to this experience. The resources, community, and support available to you when abroad will likely be different as well. In order to help you prepare for your experience, we have compiled many resources about social identity and access in specific locations abroad. Your program staff will also provide you with more details pre-departure and during orientation.
