Living in Barcelona is an experience I will never forget. I may have had a couple problems in terms of my living situation and the issue of trying to budget my money, but it was all worth it in the end. I made great friends and fell in love with the city. I'd actually consider living in Barcelona in the future. Mauricio G - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
My experience was amazing. Not only did my speaking skills improve immensely, but I was able to understand a majority of everything that anyone said. I hope to go back as soon as possible and have since changed Spanish from my minor to a dual major. My host mom is even planning a trip to the US to visit!

I have no regrets. I enjoyed every minute of my time abroad. I felt this experience matured me and showed me a different side of life that I have no yet seen until now. I hope to travel to more countries in order to experience new cultures. Melissa W - SUNY - Binghamton View Entire Review
About
The City of Barcelona
Barcelona is the capital of the region called Catalonia and is the second largest city in Spain. Located along the northeast coast of Spain and enjoying a pleasant Mediterranean climate, Barcelona is a dynamic and progressive city with rich traditions in the fields of painting, music, and architecture. Barcelona is a charming city, with a population of over 2 million. Students will learn about Barcelona's culture and experience the vibrant nightlife, cafe scene, parks, sports, art, and beaches.
The University
The University of Barcelona was founded in 1450, and today has four campuses in different parts of the city. Students in this program will take their courses at the main campus, which is situated in the heart of Barcelona's city center near Las Ramblas, the Olympic Villages, the Port, the Gaudi houses, and the Picasso museum.
The Program
The SUNY Oswego/University of Barcelona program follows the curriculum of the Curso de Estudios Hispánicos (Hispanic Studies) at the University of Barcelona. Students have the option of studying in Barcelona for a semester or academic year. Classes are taught in Spanish by faculty members from the University of Barcelona, with a few classes taught in English. All of the courses are intended specifically for non-natives. To determine their placement, students will take a proficiency test upon arrival to Barcelona.
