November 18, 2019by: Nicole S.Program: CIEE Global Architecture + Design in Barcelona, SpainAs an architecture student under CIEE, only one of my classes was actually at CIEE so I didn't really feel connected to the rest of the students in the study abroad program. That wasn't an issue for me but it was different than my expectations that I would be more involved with students in the program that aren't in my major.
