Amazing experience being able to visit a country I've never seen before
July 02, 2025by: Spencer NussProgram: CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Spanish Language in Barcelona
Amazing experience being able to visit a country I've never seen before. Here in Barcelona as a part of Spanish Language and Culture, I've significantly improved my skills with espanol and taken in the beauty of this city on the Mediterranean. I've loved the structure of our days here - planned activity or excursion, class time with engaging projects, and free time to enjoy ourselves. One month passed very quickly with CIEE!
Eye-opening and informative

This experience was not only fun but also extremely eye-opening and informative. I made so many life long connections and learned more about myself and the world. I think everyone deserves the chance to experience something like this. The most memorable experience in this program was our trip to Tibidabo. It was the end of the first week and I had a blast exploring the park with my new friends. The church there was also beautiful.
Broaden your worldview

This is a very once in a lifetime experience and if you have the opportunity to get a scholarship and go to a different country for a month or more, you will have such a better prospective on the world and grow in so many ways
