Study Abroad in Venezuela

  Venezuela
    Merida

Term: Academic Year, Fall, Spring, Summer 

Description: Venezuela is a country of astonishing beauty and variety, from Caribbean beaches to steamy jungles to snow capped mountains. Nestled in an Andean valley, the city of Mérida boasts an ideal climate and a pleasant mix of narrow colonial streets in the old central district and modern residential areas. The 35,000 university students in Mérida account for over one quarter of the city's population. University buildings are scattered throughout the city, and students going to and from classes fill the city streets, creating a vibrant, youthful atmosphere.

Begin your Spanish language studies, or increase your current skills, on this program offered in collaboration with the Department of Spanish and Portuguese. You will have plenty of opportunities to develop your language proficiency through homestays and interacting with Venezuelan students as you study Spanish at the VENUSA college of International Studies and Modern Languages. Excursions and social events planned by VENUSA will help you develop and improve your Spanish skills, learn about Venezuelan culture, and make new friends in one of South America's most beautiful countries.

Highlights: Tours and excursions in the city of Mérida and at least two day trips to nearby mountain lakes, national parks, theme parks, or other local sites of interest are included in the program. Also included are weekly activities such as lectures, films, and other social events. Hundreds of Venezuelans take English classes at VENUSA year-round and are eager to meet North Americans. VENUSA's Nuevos Encuentros arranges language partnerships and other activities designed to encourage participants and Venezuelans to get to know one another.
