HOUSING

KEY:
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: a room
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Living with unknown people in Barcelona was a bad experience for me and I would prefer to rent a place on my own.
Personal comments:
The university does not provide its students with housing and everybody should look for one on their own.
