CIEE made the semester a lot less stressful

I would be likely to recommend CIEE Study Abroad to a friend or peer because of the support system that they establish with their students. The advisers are always available for the students and their questions and for that I am grateful.

Living with 2 other Americans and a Spanish student in a shared apartment gave me a taste of everyday life here, while taking classes at UB in Spanish showed me what it's like to study as a student in Barcelona. Alberto and Andres were there for me throughout the entire process and helped to make each step easy to transition into.
