Housing & Meals
Housing
CIEE Seville offers two housing options to meet the needs of all students who want to comfortably enjoy the city while living in a culturally immersive environment: Either living with families in homestays or with other local and international students in a residence hall. All housing options have convenient access to public transportation.
Standard Housing: Includes a single room at a homestay, or a double occupancy room at a residence hall located within a 45-minute commute of CIEE Seville. Commute time from housing to host institution campuses may vary.
- Homestays feature a kitchen, living room, and bathroom shared with a host family.
- Residence halls have kitchen access, shared laundry facilities, and common spaces.
Select Housing: Includes a single room (shared bathroom and kitchenette with another CIEE participant) in a residence hall located under 30 minutes from CIEE Seville or a single studio (including private bathroom, kitchen, and laundry facilities) in a residence hall within 45 minutes from CIEE Seville. Commute time from housing to host institution campuses may vary. Select housing requires an additional fee.
A note: The default criterion to assign housing is first-come, first-served; however, other factors may also be considered. If we cannot accommodate your first housing choice, we'll let you know before you arrive.
Meals
Homestays: Three meals per day are included.
Residence Halls: Meals are not included. Students have access to the studio apartment kitchens.
Academics
This program is geared toward students with beginning to intermediate-level Spanish language skills who wish to improve these skills while selecting from a wide variety of courses taught in English. Students can fulfill school requirements by enrolling in classes for international students at Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO) in subject areas like international relations, psychology, chemistry, biology, business, history, literature, and more. Students can also enroll in a maximum of two direct-enroll courses, in Spanish or English, alongside their Spanish peers. Prior to departure for Seville, all students take a scheduled CIEE online placement exam. Results determine appropriate placement in language courses. Placement in many upper-level courses depends on a high score.
Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO) – With nearly 11,000 students, UPO is the second-largest state university in Seville. Its 345-acre campus is 30 minutes from the center of the city. UPO offers undergraduate and graduate programs in traditional majors, as well as other areas, from biotechnology to translation. Modern facilities include campus-wide internet access, sports facilities, science labs, and more.
CIEE Seville – Our home is a beautifully renovated palace, originally built in 1725, and includes classrooms, a computer room, student services, Language Resource Center, and Center Staff.
Arizona State University: Enhance your international academic coursework with optional online courses that best align with your degree requirements and interests. ASU offers thousands of online courses in asynchronous 7.5-week sessions that fit within the CIEE academic calendar, so you can study abroad with CIEE while continuing to meet all your academic goals.
Note for students taking courses directly from Host Institution(s): Students are required to stay in Seville until they have completed their exams. Official host institutions’ fall exams are in January, and official host institutions’ spring exams are in June. However, early exams in December and May may be possible, and they should be confirmed on an individual basis with the professor at the start of the regular semester session, during the add/drop period. Please note that it is up to the discretion of each professor to allow the taking of final exams before the start of the official examination period. As it is impossible to confirm your exam schedule prior to your arrival, if your priority is to leave Seville as soon as your university finals are finished, please book an airline ticket with a low change fee or a flexible departure date.
Language placement – Prior to departure for Seville, all students take an online placement exam. Results determine appropriate placement in language courses. Placement in many upper-level courses depends on a high score.
Language support – Our Language Resource Center is staffed by language professors and Spanish students majoring in Spanish philology, who help students with reading, writing, comprehension, and speaking. Tutorials on university course content are also offered. Students agree to speak only Spanish to encourage language and cultural acquisition.
Internship Placement – Participate in our “Internship Fair” and practice your interview skills. Placement is determined by language ability, job skills, and background. Because Spanish firms make final selections, internships in a particular company are not guaranteed. Students have interned for organizations like Marketing Publicidad, Simetrycal, Mail Boxes, CLIC, CyO Arquitectos as well as smaller firms and companies.
