There may never be another time in your life when you are so carefree, happy, aware of one part of the world, unaware of the part, tired, confused, out of place, and excited. Jasmine T - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review

Yes. It was an incredible experience living in a different country. Dennis L - Providence College View Entire Review
I feel like I have changed a lot. I've become much more independent and open-minded, willing to try new things, and more sensitive and aware of different perspectives and ways of life. One of the best things about this experience is that I really got to get out and see the world, undoubtedly something I will never forget. Katelyn C - Providence College View Entire Review
Yes! Yes! Yes! Kelli R - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I have become a much more cultured person and owe much of this to the woman that I stayed with while I studied abroad. Kristen M - Providence College View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile, and I learned a lot about myself as well as a completely different culture. It taught me to be independent and smart about the world, while still having fun. Kimberley S - Providence College View Entire Review
it was worthwhile, but i was homesick for a pretty good portion. it was an amazing opportunity though and i don't regret going. Kim F - Tufts University View Entire Review
I loved CIEE and everything it provided me with, but I wish I had been more challenged. I could have handled more difficult courses as well as the challenge of living on my own without CIEE there to take care of everything for me. However, having a host family provided by CIEE was one of the best things that has happened to me... Rose S - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
I became more confident in myself. When I got back home my friends said I didn't really change, I just became a better me. Leah P - Hope College View Entire Review

During their study abroad, students from multiple areas of study experience the city's countless cultural wonders – all while earning college credit. When class is in session at CIEE Barcelona and CIEE's partner school, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), you'll take your advanced Spanish language skills to the next level. Choosing from a wide range of courses, you'll quickly strengthen your language skills while building a broad understanding of Spain's history and culture.
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!
