The service-learning experience was a great opportunity because I was able to meet people whom I normally would have never met and was exposed to a side of Spain that I would have been unable to see otherwise.

Housing and Meals

Housing
All students live with host families, one or two students per family. In addition to being a necessity in a university community with 50,000 students and very little university-owned housing, boarding with families provides an invaluable element to the student's linguistic and cultural immersion in Granada. All host families live within walking distance of the university.

All Central College Abroad host families have been carefully selected and most have a long history of receiving students in their homes. Interaction with a family allows students the valuable opportunity to experience traditional Spanish life, while still having full access to the Central College Abroad Center.

Meals
 All host families provide breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Most Spanish families take pride in their cooking and in their traditional Mediterranean cuisine.

The Central College Abroad Center
The CCA center in Granada is located just a few minutes from the Center for Modern Languages (where you take classes). This popular gathering spot for CCA students includes a seminar room, computer lab and lounge. Best of all, you will meet at the CCA center for small-group tutorials that provide language support. Central adds these private tutoring opportunities to help you successfully interact both in the classroom and in the course of daily life.
