Here's what Alvaro has to say about Alicante

Why Alicante? We’ll tell you why our CEA program in Alicante is one of the best choices for studying abroad; students can find almost everything in this place, from challenging language and elective courses taught at a modern university, to a city full of cultural and social events all year round. In addition, there is onsite staff that will work with you to make sure your experience overseas is unforgettable.

Alicante is a middle-size, modern, international port city that's easy to get around and has something for everyone... museums, malls, concerts, plays, snorkeling and the best beaches and night life on the Costa Blanca. With a population of 300,000 people, the city combines both Classic and Modern; it offers business and pleasure, entertainment and educational opportunities, and manages to fit mountains and beaches within its city limits. There is even an island just a few miles off the coast that students can travel to by ferry.

The University of Alicante is one of the most modern and well-equipped universities in Spain. It has a large campus with modern facilities and state of the art technology. Our top notch professors provide a challenging and enriching program with practical Spanish for everyday use which helps students function successfully in their new surroundings. In addition, the UA has a formal concert hall that hosts top artists, a museum with rotating exhibitions, a sports pavilion that offers intramural activities and many parks and quiet places to relax. The program results speak for themselves.

So go on, take the plunge into the Mediterranean lifestyle by joining us in Alicante and prepare yourself for the experience of a lifetime.
