With housing, meals, health insurance, excursions, laundry, tutoring, tuition, academic credits and much more included in the cost of the program, we strive to make your experience in Sevilla the best time of your life. The Universidad de Sevilla originated in the 15th century as the Colegio Santa Maria de Jesus. Today the University is housed in a baroque, 18th-century building that was the first cigarette factory in the world, the Real Fabrica de Tabacos. All of the professors of the university are masters or doctors in their respective fields, and there are approximately 10,000 Spanish students as well as 500 Americans. The Universidad de Sevilla has four libraries readily available to all students: Dante Alighieri (the Library of Philology, History, and Geography), the Library of Manuals, the Art Library, and the General Library. Also, each department has its own research facilities. Of special interest to students of history, the Archivo General de las Indias is available to students who have explicit permission from a professor. These archives are considered the most important documentation in the world with regard to the West Indies. This would be an invaluable resource to any student interested in the pre-Columbian and colonial history of Latin America and Latin America's relations with Spain.

Highlights: It has been said that the inhabitants of Sevilla are 'living in the street', which means that a typical Sevillano only enters his flat to eat or sleep. With beautiful outdoor cafes, parks, plazas, restaurants and bars, there is no reason to ever go inside. Sevilla is not only famous for the day-to-day fun it provides, but for the yearly parties it throws as well. The Spring ferial, a full week of around-the-clock revelry, is very popular with tourists and residents alike. Sevilla embodies the free spirited, fun-loving romantic image of Southern Spain. Rich with culture, history, art and vida (life), it will always remain the soul of Andalucia. With over half a million residents, Sevilla is capital city of the region of Andalucia in Southern Spain. With small winding streets in the Barrio Santa Cruz, the breathtaking cathedral in the city center, the famous bull-ring, and the non-stop flow of residents and tourists alike in every corner of the city, Sevilla holds a place in the heart of anyone who has ever visited.
