Are there any good Summer Abroad Programs?

What are some good summer study abroad programs?

• I've looked everywhere but I have no idea what to look for. I'm 16 years old and I would be going in summer 2010 most likely when I am 17 years old. I would like to go to an asian or european country. My top three would have to be India, Germany, and Italy. I want a program that is not like 23498327 dollars too! Haha. But if you have been on a program please tell me because I need all the info I can get! I also need money help and how I can ask my parents and things like that. Also some airfare info would be helpful and personal stories. I JUST NEED ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME :] Thank you so much in advance.

• Answer:

  Spain is a wonderful choice and the program www.beautifulspain.com, one of the best if not the best of the programs offered abroad world wide. Location is a safe and most amazingly beautiful beach resort in Northern Spain. Host families are extremely well screened and very loving. This program gets returnees year after year, so great it is. Cost is really reasonable considering everything included (as long as you sign up with this program through their web site as there are organizations that sell the same program for much more so high quality it is). This program is considered the most complete exposure to a foreign country because as they say it is true that it combines CLASSES (art, debate, street talk, folklore, among others) with FUN and EXCITING ACTIVITIES such as Latin Dance Classes, Bullfight, Boat Excursion, etc…, FULL DAY OUTINGS to places of historical and cultural interest such as prehistoric Altamira Caves, Guggenheim Museum, Roman Ruins, "Capricho de Gaudi", Roman Route Hiking adventure, etc... are also ALL INCLUDED IN THE PRICE while living with a local, loving and carefully selected HOST FAMILY. I know this program allows you to choose from several host families (the type of things this program does, no other program would ever) in order for everyone to be happy. It offers you the possibility of enrolling with a friend with whom to share same host family home, or for you to stay alone at host family. Many host families count on children of your same age.
