A student's perspective & guide to the authentic study abroad experience.
It has taken us a while to make up our minds, but we finally have a winner and with that an entirely new brand identity for ALBA! We liked each individual alternative but were looking for the right identity to embody the spirit behind the ALBA Experience. It was a hard decision in which only the people of ALBA could help find the truth.
We are starting a new series where we interview ALBA professors and staff to give incoming students a perspective of academic life. I sat down 1-on-1 with Professor Lanau to discuss his personal connection with ALBA.
There are so many restaurants, that it is honestly hard to pick where to eat. Hopefully, these recommendations give you some tasty food and memorable experiences just as they did for me. ¡Buen Provecho!
On my way to the second biggest city in Spain I wondered, how will I fit in after growing up in a beach town in central California? Is it even possible to immerse myself in such a diverse culture?
People told me I’d fall in love when I came abroad and I did. With the city. With Barcelona and all it has to offer.
One of the pros of participating in ALBA’s study abroad program is the accessibility of Barcelona to other European cities. Having been my first time traveling to Europe, in addition to no ALBA class Friday’s, I was excited at the prospect of being able to explore other cities during our long weekends.
