“I've already been talking to a couple friends from my home university about Barcelona SAE and I have been able to say nothing but GREAT things. It was the perfect program for me, and coming alone from my school really helped me meet my best friends and thrive in a whole new amazing and huge city.”
Mallory McCormick
North Carolina State University | SIS + UPF
“The biggest takeaway from this my time abroad was perspective. There are places in the world that welcome everyone with open arms and invest highly in creating an experience for citizens and tourists alike; and from amazing public infrastructure to inclusive cultural events, Barcelona left a long lasting impression on me, and I will definitely return someday.”
Edwin Reyes
University of Miami
“Thanks to the wonderful program at Barcelona SAE, my daughter has had the opportunity to learn a new language, study spanish history and culture with an excellent professor, and her perspective on the world has been broadened and enhanced. My daughter's welfare is my highest priority, and I am so glad she was in such good hands.”
Ginny Berry
Parent of a Study Abroad Student
“Studying abroad through Barcelona SAE was such a great experience! I specifically enjoyed Cross-Cultural Psychology class because I learned so much...it was very interesting to take psychology from a Non-American perspective. I loved Barcelona and I can't wait until I go back and visit!”
Kelly Peterson
Auburn University
“Barcelona SAE was there when you needed them for anything! I loved that you can choose to be very involved with the program through excursions and activities, or choose to do your own thing. I loved how classes were small and included lots of field trips. This helped me learn so much more about the city!”
Natalie Heilmann
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
“The Barcelona SAE program was great and extremely accommodating. I learned so much through my classes, activites and day trips and also appreciated the freedom we had. The faculty was so helpful, and the structure of our class allowed us to maximize our time in Barcelona while also growing so much academically.”
