Management Science, Master
Personal assessment
Cost

Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Living in a shared flat gives the opportunity to live with other people from different backgrounds and being independent as well.
Personal comments:
The University gave me a list of housing solutions but at the end I preferred to find it by myself

Cafe Royal near to Plaza Real:Cool music and a nice atmosphere. Danzatoria Bar in Tibidabo: Visually ive never seen anything like it. A bit out of the way but definitly worth the visit. Jamboree (Mondays): Jam sessions with a cool atmosphere. Saturdays: For those that like RnB its definitly the place to be. Be warned, it does get very crowded.

most of the time the assignments are kind of vague, and you have to ask again what the exact idea of the project is. this could be improved by the teachers

It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish
How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
Didnt really speak much at the beginning but my listening vastly improved from watching tv and listening in lessons. Gradually my spoken language improved from talking to students and simple things like food shopping!! I would suggest to most people that they should join a club or society which are at the main politecnic which is quite far away but a great way to make friend and practise spainsh!

EXPENSES    
by chikadeeka, The Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, United Kingdom
Business Studies, Erasmus
The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits:
My accommodation was extremly expensive so thats what increased my overall spending. Apart from that , general living was quite cheap but going out at night can be quite expensive. As there isnt a student union as such there isnt anywhere thats really cheap to go for a drink.
Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Food, Travel: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
There are only two computer rooms in the university itself but there are plenty of internet cafes around the city. Its quite easy to open a bank account and buy a mobile phone but things like registering with a doctor can be quite difficult.

I wish I had known...
How small the university is!! We were told it was smaller than nottingham trent but not how much smaller. Coming from such a large institution it did take quite a bit of getting used to. It would have also been nice to know more about which areas are safer to live in, cheaper to live in or have a larger student population. But you do get to find out after a while.
In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
I enjoyed it but it was quite different to university in England. The teachers are all very helpful if you do have any difficulties. Some speak english too. The only thing that really dissappointed me was the size, but overall I enjoyed it. I would recommend doing more than one semester (6 months) as it does take a while before you really start mixing with the spanish students and the time does go really quickly.



FINAL COMMENTS

Try not to go to agencies for accommodation (or just find somewhere for the first month) as they do charge commision etc. It also means that you are tied to a contract. If you do, id suggest rentabedroom.com or habitatgejove. Also you need to register with them early to get prioerity for viewing and accepting places. Travel is cheap and you can buy a metro ticket that lasts 3 months which is even cheaper. If you arrive in the summer, try and visit some other areas in cataluña:Sitges, Tarragona etc. Try and get to know as many people as possible. A bar called Cam Pumki have an erasmus night every thursday.
