Study Language & Linguistics Abroad

Studying abroad in Athens, Greece, was nothing short of amazing. In Athens, Greece, I had the chance to walk through history every day—whether visiting the Acropolis or taking a trip to the shops with my friends. The courses that I took abroad enriched my understanding of Greek history, philosophy, and society, while day-to-day life gave me a real appreciation for the pace, warmth, and communal nature of Greek culture. From weekend trips to the islands to late-night conversations with my fellow students and friends, Athens gave me not only a new perspective on the world but also lasting friendships and personal growth that was undeniable. I still think about my experience in Greece everyday. I wouldn't trade my time abroad here for the world!

This was an unforgettable experience forever engrained in my heart. Before the semester started, I was nervous about adjusting to life abroad, but studying in Barcelona through BSAE exceeded all expectations. The support from the program made the transition incredibly smooth, from the moment I landed. BSAE created so many opportunities to connect with other students early on, and those connections quickly turned into lasting friendships. Thanks to the generous scholarships I received, I was able to fully embrace the experience—not only exploring the richness of life in Barcelona, but also traveling to different parts of Europe, which broadened my perspective in so many ways. The program's events, like the trip to Valencia, ceramics and cooking classes, and other cultural activities, helped me dive deeper into Spanish culture while also making meaningful memories. This semester abroad was truly life-changing. I feel so lucky to have been part of it, and I’ll always be grateful for the people I met, the places I visited, and the support that made it all possible. Barcelona will always hold a special place in my heart.
