Earn College Credit At Spanish Language Schools In Latin America

Often college students stay right on campus for four years or more

. However, don't forget that this period of your life is a time for learning and exploration. As a result, you can get far more out of your scholastic experience if you study Spanish abroad. Not only will a trip allow you to travel to new locations on the globe, it will also give you a chance to fulfill your course requirements. The fact of the matter is that you can earn college credit even if you are studying outside of the country. You will also learn a lot faster. For example, four weeks of attending Spanish schools in South America is equivalent to one entire semester at a traditional university. You will also receive the benefit of more class time, as you will receive 80 hours of education, as compared to the 45-60 that you would receive during a typical college course.

There are other significant benefits to studying outside of the country. For example, you will find that classes are smaller. This factor enables all students to have dedicated attention from the instructor. Additionally, you will find that overall students have a much more positive attitude. Therefore, classmates tend to be more engaged and enthusiastic. Another benefit is that your unique and exciting environment will have many cultural and social activities. After several months traveling you'll likely have a new group of friends from various countries.

Another major benefit to studying abroad is that you will save money. As an example, at ECELA Spanish Schools, www.ecela.com you will spend approximately $750 for four weeks abroad. The tuition is very small in comparison to the $3,000 or more students now pay at private school in the USA. In fact, even private courses in South America are far cheaper than private tuition college classes.

Popular destinations to study Spanish abroad include Peru, Argentina and Chile. Costa Rica is also an increasingly popular choice. Mexico also offers a wide variety of language programs. Unfortunately today's increasing drug-gang violence has had a negative impact on study abroad decisions.

No matter what country you choose, attending Spanish schools in South America can greatly enhance your entire college experience. When you think back on the good times you had in college, your best memories may very well be of your days in Chile, Peru or Argentina.
