“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. It was overwhelming at first but every aspect of the program made that feeling go away so quick. I felt safe with all of the resources provided in Barcelona and everything went very smoothly the entire time.”
