What our students say about us
One of my favorite parts about studying abroad was living with my host mom. Expanish did a really good job pairing me and my friend with her because we have a lot of the same interests and we had a lot to talk about.
From the second we landed, everything was so well organized and flowed seamlessly. I could never have imagined a better combination of activities and the support that is available from everyone involved in the program has blown me away.
I loved all the nice teachers and how kind and patient they were with us.
It was also nice that our group did activities together from the beginning because this allowed us all to get to know each other really well and have a good network of peers while we all lived/studied here.
I've learned a lot of self confidence, independence, and how to take care of myself in a new city
Expanish has been a great host for us all! We all felt as though the expanish center was our second home here. It provided a safe and comfortable space! I am beyond grateful for the activities that were organized for us, they really make the program special!
