I didn't know anyone prior to going so it made me become even more independent and more aware of what the world was like outside of the US. I learned about different political views and people's opinions about the rest of the world and learned more about myself and my interests. It was definitely worthwhile Kayla O - University of Hartford View Entire Review
About
When class is in session at CIEE Barcelona's partner school, the Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IaaC), students will focus on creating model cities that address climate change by reducing the environmental footprint of buildings. Experts from Barcelona's architecture and design community will deliver all seminars, hands-on workshops, and courses in English and provide students with access to today's cutting-edge technology. Additionally, required courses are complemented with CIEE electives, taught in English or Spanish, that feature co-curricular activities and excursions organized by CIEE.
Outside the classroom, you'll have plenty of time to explore everything Barcelona has to offer. From indulging in mouth-watering tapas at one of the city's 19 Michelin-starred restaurants to marveling at world-famous architect Antoni Gaudí's 20+ sites, your time in Spain's most famous city will be nothing short of life-changing!
