Sophomore Jailene Cuevas went on two trips from the study abroad program. She visited Spain in Spring 2015 and Italy in Spring 2016.

“It gave me a new outlook on traveling and has motivated me to learn more things about other countries. With their affordable payments plans I was glad I was able to go twice,” she says.

You can also sign up online and make payments on their websites, please be advised it’s a little pricier as online demands a larger payment plan. The websites are as follows: www.alacartetravel.com/discovermorocco17 and www.efcollegestudytours.com/1858335AZ
