Cultural immersion

CIEE ALA has given me the perfect opportunity to experience the authentic Spanish university life. 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.

It was everything!

I would recommend CIEE to a friend because the Barcelona program was everything I could have dreamed of! The excursions, the study center, the professors, the classes...it all was awesome!!! The only downside is the price...but, with all that is included, I can understand to an extent.

Support is superior

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. It has made the semester a lot less stressful.
