The Best of Barcelona with ASA

As I reflect on my time abroad, the one place I was grateful to be able to spend most of my time and call my home base was Barcelona. There’s nothing I didn’t love about this city. The people I met, the food and drinks I tried, the things I learned in and out of the classroom, and every place I saw from a popular landmark to a narrow street in the Gothic Quarter, made this semester a truly life changing experience for me.

For anyone unsure of where they want to study abroad, Barcelona is definitely the place for you. You will never forget this city and all of the life that it has no matter where you go. To the small group of students who studied with ASA in Barcelona, thank you so much for all the wonderful memories I had the chance to share with you. To my roommates of Carrer de Rosellò 436, thank you for being there for me in every possible way. I could not have asked for better people to live and explore Europe with. To Marta and Richard, thank you for everything you did for us: from taking us on day trips and weekend excursions to showing us the beautiful city you call home. You both helped me in more ways than you know. The comfort of knowing I always had someone to talk to if I needed it made the whole experience that much better.

Now that I have been back in the U.S. for some time, I have had the chance to really reflect on this unforgettable experience, and realize how lucky I was to be able to study with Academic Studies Abroad.
