CEA Barcelona is amazing, Barcelona city is amazing, Spain is amazing, sangria is amazing, if you are even thinking about going to Barcelona DO IT! This is where most people wished they had gone when they visit! Ana G - University of Saint Thomas - Minnesota View Entire Review
I learned so much while i was over there. I learned how to live in another country for one, but also the customs and culture of the locals. It was so much fun getting to know them (the locals)! I would definitely do this program all over again. The city and the staff of the program were just amazing and they were the one who ma... Sara B - New Mexico State University View Entire Review
I gained a better appreciation for my life, I learned about myself, and am overall a better person Mitchell A - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I can not even put into words how much I learned abroad. It is a key growing experience and I hope everyone can experience it. Barcelona is a city like non other. I grew as an adult because I had a lot more freedom and i also grew culturally from traveling to over 10 different countries. Jesse Y - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I have absolutely no regrets from choosing to study abroad. I traveled a ton, saw places all over Europe, became more multi-cultured and knowledgeable, etc etc...all that stuff. The regret I do have is choosing to go with CEA, and this mostly had to do with the people in the program. The VAST majority fit into this mold: Greek...

Studying abroad is about the most worthwhile decision that you can make. You learn so much about yourself, the different cultures that exist around the world, increased global awareness, and new insight into your home culture. You gain such a greater understanding of life when you place yourself in a foreign situation. You bond ... Mark B - Pennsylvania State University - University Park View Entire Review
language, travel and cultural differences, definitely worthwhile A student - Cornell University View Entire Review
The obesity issue in America is a very real thing. I also learned that Americans are loud, obnoxious and impatient compared to other cultures. A student - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
Studying abroad taught me to open up and learn for about culture besides those in America. It was one the best months of my life; so much fun, so much to do. Stephanie M - University of Arizona View Entire Review
Studying abroad was the most amazing experience of my life. While the program was not my favorite, Barcelona is an amazing city with so much to offer. I have no regrets about studying abroad. I learned how to become more independent, learned a lot about other cultures and how to adapt, and learned a lot about myself and others a... A student - Quinnipiac University View Entire Review
I learned how to be more independent and about all the other cultures I visited. It was the most worthwhile experience of my life. Kelly O - High Point University View Entire Review
In one month abroad, I learned more about myself than in the last two years of my life. There is no other experience that lets you leave every disposition that you have ever associated and labeled yourself with than studying abroad and reintroducing yourself with strangers that have no sort of preconceived notion of you. From ... Dylan J - University of Arizona View Entire Review
SO worthwhile. Learned to adapt to the culture around you. Embrace new traditions and new food. Learn problem solving skills when technology isn't available (can't just rely on cell phone data). A student - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself. I learned how to be alone. I learned that I like to learn through experience and exposing myself to real life things. I learned how to step out of my comfort zone. I learned how to ask for help. Katie C - Indiana University - Bloomington View Entire Review
I learned how to survive in unfortunate situations. At one point my computer was broken, phone and money stolen, metro card gone, etc...i went two weeks without much. I learned everyone has different norms and you have to work through that. Taylor W - University of San Diego View Entire Review
I learned about culture and a lot about myself. WORTHWHILE! A student - University of Arizona View Entire Review
This experience abroad has taught me to respect other cultures and appreciate my own A student - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
I learned a lot about different cultures and also grew greatly as a person. It was extremely worth while. amanda p - University of Michigan - Ann Arbor View Entire Review
There are SO many valuable moments and memories that will stay with me and while there wasn't necessarily one moment that stood above the others, any one of them still would have made the trip worthwhile. From making new best friends to learning to thrive independently to appreciating a new way of life, there's no shortage of op...
