Study Abroad in Barcelona, Spain

Sweeping white sandy beaches, beautiful gothic architecture, a fun and energetic pulse that keeps the city alive into the early hours of the morning, is it any wonder that Barcelona is a study abroad mecca for students from all over the world? The second largest city in Spain, for centuries Barcelona has thrived as a cultural and commercial capital of the Mediterranean. From world-class historical museums to bizarre surrealist art to abundant modern discotecas, study abroad in Barcelona can be the cultural experience of a lifetime for anyone interested in Spanish culture and living the good life.

An Unforgettable Experience

April 25, 2025by: Asel Kahveci - United StatesProgram: Barcelona SAE: Intl. Business & Humanities Semester at UAB
8

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.
