Semester in Barcelona

Hi, I studied abroad with IFSA in their Barcelona program. I had an amazing time. I was able to take classes through my program as well as through the prestigious ESCI business school. Through this program I was able to make many friends from around the world through my program. The living conditions were great, I had my own room in the Gothic Quarter that allowed me to really immerse myself in the culture. The program director Sandra was phenomenal, she always made sure we had everything we needed and provided a great immersive experience. We had several nice excursions with a weekend trip to Sevilla. Overall I had an amazing time. The only bad part was that my cohort was quite small, only 11 students. This could be a bad thing for some people, but I was able to make friends in my classes so it was not a downside for me. Thanks for reading :)
