Spanish Language and Culture in Barcelona

I loved living in the heart of Barcelona. I got to engage in my city by taking a Spanish course at the University of Barcelona, volunteering at a local Spanish high school, and traveling around Europe for many of the weekends, as we had no class on Fridays. The most important things to me during my study abroad were: making meaningful connections with other students by putting myself out there, and maintaining hobbies and routines I had at home in order to get used to the big change of lifestyle.
