SAI genuinely cares about the well-being of their students and is supportive yet encouraging of trying new things and not being afraid to tackle a challenge! Especially loved the proximity of the office to FUA and the "open-door policy" in them encouraging us to come to them if we ever need anything. On the weekends, I traveled from to Madrid to visit family one week, Ibiza one weekend, and the other weekends I just explored the city and local beach towns. This was an incredible way to immerse myself directly into the culture. It was a film class and the premise of the class was to create a film on your own. My class had students from the US, local students, and other international students. We would take the bus right after class to the beach every day. My class was from 6-9pm Monday - Thursday. My apartment was directly next to The Sagrada Familia (most beautiful location ever) and the campus was near the beach. One of my roommates was in my class which was amazing so we commuted about a half hour on the metro together. I had that weekend free and then started class that Monday. They helped me up and introduced me to my roommates. Right off the bat, I was greeted by some of the SAI on site team and driven back to my apartment. I wanted to take the jump so I did, chose random roommates and decided to go to Barcelona. Prior to this, I only traveled out of country to Canada and the Bahamas with my family so it was a brand new experience going to Europe by myself.

I studied in Barcelona the summer of 2022 and it was incredible.
