Barcelona opened me up to a new world of art and architecture Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

I felt that the academics were less intensive than my home university, but the social/cultural experience was more taxing, so I felt that overall my experience was more challenging abroad.

On-site administration of your program

I dont have any complaints. I felt that my host institution was well organized and integrated me well into life in barcelona and a different academic situation.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

my host family was great. I especially appreciated my host mom. she cooked great meals for me and interacted with me everyday. I also lived close to the metro system so I was able to travel downtown easily.

I was happy eating at cafes and at home

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

night life was fun, many bars and clubs to meet people and dance. I also enjoyed day time site seeing such as parks and museums.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

when I was sick, I was immediately tended to by my host mom and program

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

I used spanish everyday while I was living in Barcelona because I spoke to shop keepers in spanish and asked for directions in spanish as well. I also made a few local friends who I asked to speak in spanish to me.
