I absolutely loved studying abroad and I know I wouldn't have had as good of a time with a different program! My program leaders were awesome and I loved meeting everyone in my program. I came into this not knowing a single other person and left so close with my roommates and with so many new friends from my program. I traveled with my roommates most weekends but one of my favorite trips was the one we took as a program. One of the reasons I enjoyed the program was because it was on the smaller size, so I got to get closer with students from all over the country as well as with my program leaders. Our leaders were so intentional and always had events planned for us to get immersed within Barcelona and the Spanish culture. This was truly an experience of a lifetime and I can't recommend it more!

My experience going abroad with ASA was incredible, to say the least. I had always wanted to go abroad since my sister did back in 2012 when she studied in Sevilla, Spain. If you want a program that will answer your calls and emails right away, give you amazing staff that will care about you when you get abroad and want to have an unbelieve experience, then choose ASA. They helped me every step of the way when applying to their Barcelona program. They answered every question I had and guided me on what steps to take next on getting my visa which I got through them. I'm from Connecticut so getting a Visa to go abroad was going to be a difficult task since I would have had to travel to New York City to retrieve it. My ASA directors Marta and Richard became family to me for the next four months. They helped me with everything and anything from needing a doctors appointment to something in our apartment needed fixing. They were always available on their cellphones whenever you wanted to reach them. They always had great recommendations on places to eat or activities to do on weekends. My classes abroad set me up with so many opportunities to learn new things that I would never have learned back in the states. I couldn't thank ASA enough for all that they do to make sure everyone has an unbelievable time abroad. I met some of the best friends that I had never met before the trip and now we hang out every day at school.
