GEO students studying in Segovia, Spain, this summer got the unique experience of celebrating the 4th of July together with the Segovia Center director, Marian Rubio, at a special dinner out at a local restaurant. In an article from Segoviadirecto.com, Marian elaborates: “‘It’s Independence Day for the United States. My students are celebrating a special day outside their [country] for the first time in their lives. But they are happy and here at El Oso Blanco we are going to have a special [meal] and a sangria, so that…they not only do not miss their country, but they are [experiencing] something unique in their lives and never forget it.'”
GEO students can study Spanish language and culture in Segovia year-round while living with a local family and immersing themselves in the unique history of this UNESCO World Heritage city close to Madrid. The Center Director, Marian Rubio, is a long-time resident of the city and explains, “’It is a unique experience for them. They are usually saying that it is the best experience of their life.'”
