<p>After a year and half of looking into programs in several countries, my daughter will be spending spring semester in Ecuador. Any pointers, suggestions, concerns??? Thanks.</p>
<p>My son was there a few years back, University de San Francisco in Cumbaya, which seems to host most of the Quito based programs. I visited and loved the country. His host family was great, and as there is little English spoken, even in Quito, his Spanish improved to fluency. He had done his research, and really felt it was the best place for S. America study abroad.</p>
<p>D is currently there (also at USFC) and having an experience of a lifetime. If you PM me I will send you a link to her blog. I am sooooooooooo envious of her. :)</p>
