| | | Fall Semester in the AndesA unique study abroad program in Ecuador and Peru4 September- 18 December 2007In some ways, life in Cuenca is very similar to life in the US. You get up, shower, have breakfast and make your way to school. But even on “normal” days, there are subtle differences in everything you do. Instead of pancakes, you get tamales for breakfast. Instead of another generic language class, your teacher takes you to the local market to barter for fruit. In other ways, the schedule in Cuenca is worlds apart. Travel to exotic places, living with a family from a different culture and ordering food in a different language are just some of the things that will challenge and stimulate students. Yet no matter how different life seems in Cuenca, students can always count on certain things. The first is a little bit of home wherever they go, as a native English-speaking staff member is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. CEDEI also employs a full-time staff member dedicated to helping students get the most out of the host family experience. Additionally, although Ecuador is a very different place, students will have access to many modern amenities, such as supermarkets, English-language movies, and inexpensive phone calls home. | | | | Study in Cuenca, Ecuador, one of the world's most beautiful cities and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
