Travel

Barcelona has it all: pristine white-sand beaches, a vibrant arts scene, and an irresistible street culture of boutiques, coffee bars, tapas restaurants, and discotecas. Live like a local in a cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean Sea, staying with a host family in a residential barrio and walking or riding the subway to your classes in this university community. Plus: daytrips beyond Barcelona.

Language and Cultural Competency
How does language acquisition serve as a catalyst for cross-cultural communication and understanding? How can improving your Spanish-language proficiency benefit your experience of a new country and your interactions with
people whose backgrounds are different from yours?
