Trends / Study Abroad

Traveling abroad as a student for even one semester can be more rewarding than four years spent at home and few places offer as much value as the city of Lima. The capital of Peru is one of the most culturally rich, beautiful and historically significant cities in the world and the perfect place to study abroad.

CISabroad’s Semester in Lima program offers a wonderful opportunity to further your education in a vibrant environment while also experiencing a new culture. The program takes place at Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola, a campus in the heart of Lima with more than 6,000 students and 18 academic areas to choose from. It’s a bilingual university offering courses in both English and Spanish.

Students are placed with host families who will help you navigate Lima while also taking you on trips to explore the region and places like Machu Picchu. They also provide you with two meals a day, a bonus! CISabroad also offers optional built-in weekend and daytrips throughout the semester at no additional cost. A couple of the places you can go include the Reserva Nacional de Paracas and the town of Ica.

With such a rich, cultural heritage and tons of festivals throughout the year, Lima truly is a one-of-a-kind experience for anyone seeking to study abroad.
