Figuring out all the travel and health restrictions while in a foreign country is complicated but not impossible during a global pandemic. If you are willing to put in the effort to overcome these barriers you are in for a one of a kind study abroad experience without all the chaos of tourists.

I gained a better sense of what I want to do with my career. It was completely worthwhile. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned that I would like to live in Barcelona upon graduation and I also learned about so many different cultures by traveling on the weekends. I would definitely recommend studying abroad, because it is the only time you will be able to travel to so many places for such a low cost.

I found out more about myself and what is really important to me. I learned about different cultures I became more open minded.

This experience helped me grow as an individual. I learned about a different culture as I was actually living in it, something that made it even more fascinating, and got to travel to places I had never had the opportunity to visit before.

It was completely worth while! I learned so much about the Catalan culture and the Spanish lifestyle. I went on 5 or 6 trips outside of Spain and that was also an amazing experience.
