Question

Is it safe for an American student to travel to Madrid and Barcelona?

Answer 1

Its very safe if you are sensible, stick to tourist areas

Answer 2

Of course it is.  I have not been to Spain personally, but I am an American student studying and living in the Netherlands.  Western Europe is very safe in general - like a previous answer said, as safe or safer than your average american city.

Absolutely, it's very safe. I have a friend that goes there at least once a year.

If you feel safe and survive in the US, Spain is much safer!
