Overall Experience
Yes! I learned a lot about not only Spanish/Catalan culture, but European culture. I made new friends and expanded my horizons in terms of acceptance, food preferences, and language barriers. - Emerson College View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself during the three months I was abroad. - Trinity University View Entire Review
Past Review Incredible
Definitely worthwhile. Made a ton of new friends and practiced the language. - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile, though I had a better experience when I directly enrolled in the University of Barcelona, rather than participating in an American program. Would highly recommend Barcelona to students of all Spanish levels, especially those with an affinity for languages who will pick up some Catalan! - Tufts University View Entire Review

I had a great study abroad experience because I proved to myself that I was able to go out of my comfort zone and experience a whole new way of life. I met so many people and learned so many things. I plan on going back and teaching English in Spain. - Providence College View Entire Review
God yes it made me a much better person. I also have a greater worldly knowledge and culture experience that makes me constantly miss Barcelona and wish to return again. - Roger Williams University View Entire Review
Yes, it was absolutely worthwhile. I think it is really important to be openminded and to experience different parts of the world, because in the end it helps you grow as an individual and it is a wonderful experience. - University of Hartford View Entire Review
