IES Barcelona Study Abroad Spring 2023
by: Peter Marsh - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Barcelona – Liberal Arts & BusinessI had an amazing time studying in Barcelona during the Spring 2023 semester. A ton of preparation happens before you even board a plane to study abroad, and IES was extremely helpful in this process. Info sessions, advisor meetings, and thorough emails all took place in the months leading up to my abroad experience. Once I was in Barcelona, I had a ton of resources to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying my time abroad. One thing about IES that other programs do not offer are the multitude o...
The world is SO BIG!!
by: Elizabeth Kallies - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Barcelona – Liberal Arts & BusinessFrom the beaches to the mountains and everything in between, over the last four months I spent traveling, learning, exploring, and taking in every aspect of Barcelona and its culture. Although my trip started out rough; landing without luggage, knowing no one, jet-lagged, and classes starting the very next day, in no time at all, Barcelona became one of my absolute favorite places. Having the opportunity to live and learn abroad is one that I am always grateful for and so I strongly encourage ot...
Going abroad changed my outlook on life
by: Emma Ritson - United StatesProgram: IES Abroad Barcelona – Liberal Arts & BusinessIt definitely sounds cliche, but my time abroad changed me as a person. Beginning to prepare to go abroad can be quite overwhelming and somewhat daunting, at least I felt this way. Ever since I was younger I knew I wanted to go abroad but my desire to go to Spain came about in my senior year of high school. I wanted to immerse myself in the culture and live in a large city, so I chose Barcelona. I took extremely interesting classes during my time abroad at IES as well as UAB and was able to lear...

In today’s job market, many people have a major plus a foreign language, so to give myself an advantage I decided to study abroad. I love traveling and adventure, and there is no better way to combine enhancing your resume, improving your Spanish language acumen, and being able to travel and explore, than studying abroad! Being a Business major and Spanish minor, I decided to spend four months studying Business and Liberal Arts in Spain with IES Abroad.

I chose to study abroad because it was outside my comfort zone and I realized I’ve spent too much of my life doing what’s most comfortable. I knew it would help me grow as a person and be a great experience, and wanted to push myself to do something that wasn’t necessarily an easy for me.
