In their own words...
"My time here has instilled within me a special kind of character, one that only comes as a result of a community geared toward opening your mind... not just filling your mind with more information."

International Studies: Cuenca, Ecuador

Summer Semester in Cuenca, Ecuador

The Cuenca, Ecuador program is typically a six to seven week program that begins in early June and extends in July. Students take language and culture classes in the morning for two and a half hours. After class, students are invited to participate in sports with the University of Cuenca physical education students and they are invited to engage in activities with Cuenca’s English students.

The city of Cuenca is full of daytime and nighttime places of interest. Cuenca is noted for location around four rivers, its colonial architecture, its numerous historic churches and cathedrals, its night life along Calle Larga and Calderon Park. During the month of June, Cuencans celebrate the festival of Corpus Cristi, during which the central streets are lined with chocolate and confection stands by day, and during night time, the local begin burning elaborate fire towers and releases fire balloons.

On weekends, students may take guided trips to see the lagoons and trails of Cajas Park, 13,000 feet high in the Andes, to visit the Inca and Canari ruins of Ingapirca, to hike the trail to the waterfall, Chorro al Giron, to ride horses at stables around Cuenca or in the picturesque town of Vilcabamba.

Applications are due by February 15th.
