Take Me Back To Barcelona!

YES. It helped me become more independent. I made friends from different parts of the US that I actually plan to go visit this summer. Study abroad in general brings students out of their 'American Bubble' and helps view the world from a wider perspective. It has made me seriously consider working overseas for an international c...

Barcelona: Learning Through Culture

I gained so much from studying in Barcelona. I was able to apply all that I have learned, as well as what I continued to learn in Barcelona in my day to day activities. Through traveling I was able to experience things I have learned about in the past and see things I never would have. I am much more culturally aware, more indep...

Ciee Study Abroad Was Awesome, But Barcelona Was The Wrong City

I know how to travel, got to see the greatest things I've ever seen, but none of the best things for me were in BCN. I only learned the language through taking class in spanish and traveling to places within spain.

Ciee Barcelona Business & Culture/Small Liberal Arts International Student Going Back To Europe

The people I met and the experience of living in Barcelona made it worthwhile. However, it was not very beneficial academically, except the language improvement opportunity.

Barcelona: Adventure Of A Lifetime

I absolutely loved my time abroad. While there were things I disliked about my program, it didn't hinder my overall experience and I would do it all over again if I could. After taking many International courses I realized how much I enjoyed International Business and am currently double majoring in it. Studying abroad opened my...

Barcelona: A Great Place To Study, Learn A Different Culture, And Have Fun

Yes! I just loved how being in Europe allows you to travel anywhere you want in Europe for relatively cheap prices. I went all over and it was just amazing seeing all these places rich with culture and history.

Barcelona, Spain Made Me See The World Differently And I Now Plan To Travel Much More In My Life!

I became much more independent from going abroad, I learned how to adapt to different cultures, I learned that your going to go through some rough times but in the end EVERYTHING will be okay. I feel so much more culturally aware and feel so lucky to have had such a great experience. After going abroad I now know what other c...

A Time To Remember

I have become FAR more independent as well as responsible. I now know that I could take on so many challenges in life, by myself, because I just lived in a foreign country, with a language I didn't know and was able to do it for four months...and made it a memory that is engraved in my mind.

A Great Semester In Barcelona

Absolutely. My study abroad experience was much more culturally enriching than I ever thought it could be. I was nervous and skeptical before I left the United States, but I am so happy that I chose to step out of my comfort zone and go to Barcelona.
