Why choose Spanish Abroad, Inc.?
Below you will find some of the reasons why Spanish
Abroad, Inc. is your best choice for study abroad, language immersion
programs, volunteer opportunities, and other specialized travel
programs.
1. Respect &
Recognition: Today Spanish Abroad, Inc. is widely recognized
as one of the leading Study Abroad providers in North America.
This view is held by our partner schools, various universities,
numerous study abroad organizations, businesses and government
organizations, and most importantly by our former clients.
- If you like, we would be more than happy
to provide you with a list of references of former clients.
- We would also encourage you to
visit the Better Business Bureau Online to find out our status
with this organization. We are very proud to state that since
joining the BBB in 1999 we have not had a single complaint
filed against our company.
2. Experience:
Spanish Abroad, Inc. was founded in 1996. During this time our
company has sent thousands of individuals to schools throughout
the world.
- When you contact our office you will
have the chance to talk with someone who has personally visited
the country, city and school you may be interested in. We
are confident that you will find this “expertise”
to be invaluable in helping you decide upon an appropriate
location and/or school.
- Additionally, once you register you will
find that many questions will arise prior to your departure
date. Having a professional and courteous contact person here
at Spanish Abroad, Inc. will mean you get the answers you
need quickly. The end result will be that you will be better
prepared for you time abroad, and as such should have a wonderful
and very productive experience.
3. Depth of Information:
It is unlikely that you will find another organization here in
North America or Europe that has the depth of information available
about the school, city or country you may be interested in.
- On our website you will find extensive
information available, ranging from a detailed description
of teaching methodologies and accommodations, to things to
see and do in the city and the country where you will be studying.
- In most cases you will find that the
information we have about a particular school is much more
detailed than the schools’ own information. Why do we
do this? Because we know that you need good information in
order to make an educated decision as to where to study.
- Though we did not plan on creating a
“travel website”, we found that in order to more
effectively describe the locations where our partner schools
are located, we needed to provide in-depth information of
the city and the country where these schools are located.
Many individuals have commented that our website has better
city and country information than most travel related sites.
If you then compare our information to our competitors you
will find that they do not really offer any type of in-depth
information.
4. The Schools:
We do not own the schools listed on our website. We have however
selected what we feel to be are some of the best schools in each
country and are very proud of the schools that we work with.
- We do not list the names of the schools
we work with on our site. However you are free to ask us the
names and we are more than happy to provide you with the names
upon request.
- Upon registration you of course receive the full name, address
and contact information for the school you have registred
with.
- While some people may find our site, find out about a school
and then go directly to them, we find that most people value
the services we provide and register directly with us.
- This attitude is simply part of our philosophy. We want
to provide you with the best information available so that
you can make an educated decision as to what is the best school
for you.
5. Ease of Communication:
When you deal with Spanish Abroad, Inc. you are dealing with an
organization located in the USA.
- Our office hours are set up so
that you will find that no matter where you call from you
should be able to talk to someone immediately. Our office
hours are from 7 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday (Mountain
Standard Time). During normal business hours it is unlikely
you will ever get an automated response but instead will be
able to talk directly with one of our staff. If calling outside
of business hours you can be assured that we will return your
call as soon as our offices open.
- Send us an email and you will receive a response typically
within just a few hours…if not even sooner. Today people
expect quick responses, and we are set up to provide this.
- If you need to contact us for some reason outside of business
hours, you can also call our emergency numbers.
- When our clients are in another country they have the opportunity
to call our offices or emergency numbers collect at any time.
- In essence our business is set up to allow easy communicationbetween
you and us.
6. Ease of Registration:
The registration process with our company is quick and easy. You
can register online, by phone, by fax or through the mail. In
most cases we can get you a confirmation back for your program
within 24 hours or quicker.
- In the coming weeks you will be able
to check your status online, make payments, check flight info,
verify accommodation info, plus more.
- Few other organizations offer this type of information to
their clients.
7. Confidence:
While there are many good schools around the world, going directly
to them incurs some risks to you. What is your recourse if something
goes wrong? Dealing with a school in another country can be tricky
if not impossible.
When you deal with Spanish Abroad, Inc. you are
dealing with a company based in the USA. Your questions, payments,
etc. are all done through the USA. For many people this is an
important consideration.
