Barcelona SAE: BaPIS Semester Program at the UPF

Barcelona SAE gave me the opportunity to save money (was in TODOS scholarship) and prepared me to have the best experience I could ask for. Everything went smoothly and exceeded my expectations! Especially the day trips super fun. ?

These were definitely the best 2 1/2 months of my life. I had the opportunity to meet so many interesting people and learn so much about life outside of the US. I was also able to explore several countries in Europe as well as Morroco to further enrich my experience. Learning the history of Spanish and Catalan culture by being immersed in the environment is something you can't really describe in words. It's something you have to experience. The only "downside" to my experience was the lack of guidance within the university. A lot of my time spent in the BAPIS program at UPF was figuring things out on my own. The academic expectations are a bit different from the US, so it took quite a bit to adjust. Nonetheless, still an amazing experience. If I could sum up my time in one word it'd be "Unparalleled"!

When I chose to study abroad in Spain, I was very nervous. I didn’t know if I’d meet new people and be safe living on my own. However, BarcelonaSAE offered wonderful resources to help me along my way. They planned fun excursions to other cities, offered many health and safety instructions, and helped me meet my friends for life. If you’re looking for an amazing Barcelona program, this is the one for you.
