Studying Abroad? More like Abroad with a Side of Studying

I had such an amazing time studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain! It completely exceeded my expectations and I would absolutely recommend choosing this program to see how you might experience this beautiful, lively city. I chose to live with a host family - which I highly recommend if you actually want to gain a slightly more authentic expereince of how people live in Barcelona - and while it pushed me out of my comfort zone, my spanish greatly improved, I now have un "abuela de espana" to come visit, and it's probably the experience I will miss the most when leaving. Location-wise, Barcelona caters to such a wide variety of people, transportation is amazing, climate is pretty close to perfect, and there is something for everyone to entertain themselves at any given moment. I could write so much more, but prefer to keep my review short and sweet. Whether you like art, music, volleyball, climbing, the list goes on, Barcelona will teach you so much about yourself and the thing you might have chosen to learn here as well one-hundred times fold.
