It was really amazing to be able to experience Barcelona at lower capacity. I feel like I truly got to know the city. yes - very worthwhile. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Before my semester abroad I had never been out of the country. Being in Spain and in Europe I learned to appreciate other cultures and branch out of my shy tendencies. It also gave me the nerves to finally speak Spanish with people other than my grandparents without feeling like I was being judged. Maria Vega - University of Hartford View Entire Review
I gained about 10 pounds and a lot of international experience. I also learned so much about the culture from living with a host family. It was completely worthwhile. Ivy Painter - Birmingham-Southern College View Entire Review

I learned the importance of Spanish culture, language, and more importantly the art of Barcelona and Europe. Federico Rosario - University of Hartford View Entire Review
My Spanish improved significantly. I was able to see amazing things in person. I was able to adapt to and learned to love a new city. A student - Hollins University View Entire Review
