SAFETY FIRST
It has been more than 3 weeks now since the Economic and Culture students arrived in Barcelona. They have been busy getting to know the city, the subway system, their new classes…During orientation week, students had the opportunity to attend a safety talk held by Barcelona´s local police.

EC STUDENTS FEEL AT HOME IN BARCELONA
During the first weeks while classes were just getting started, students already felt at home. Eliza (Colgate University) was happy to start running around the city just like locals like to do.

Students stay with host families, in residences or in shared apartments. They live with other CIEE students, and soon after arriving, they have already made good friends. These are lifetime friendships!

TRIP TO MAROCCO
A group of EC students went to Morocco for the weekend. They stayed in a typical Moroccan house and even went on a camel ride. It was so much fun!
