Why Choose Abbey Road Programs?

Residential Life:
In Madrid, you’ll live in a 3-star hotel hand-picked by our staff for its central location and comfy living quarters. In Barcelona, you’ll spend three weeks living in the Fort Pienc district.
Our location couldn’t be better for an extended stay: it provides easy access to the city’s main beach for optimal beach time, and offers relief from noise but is just a leisurely twenty minute walk from Plaça de Catalunya. With such a prime location, you’re sure to enjoy the time you spend outside of your apartment as much as the time spent inside of it.
Our residence is equipped with amenities like a work-out room, student lounges, and even a roof-top pool, while each “studio” apartment has a private bedroom and bathroom and a full kitchen shared with the studio next door. Let’s face it; you will feel spoiled but this is still a great opportunity to ease into college dorm living.
