HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? I think that meeting new people is very important-and living in your house I lost much of it
Personal comments:
It was quite wxpensive and there were only a few rooms available-it is pretty hard to rent it- This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Thera are many many bars clubs and so on. It is the city of night life-so it is very dificult to show one best place-but I find the best of best the Denzatoria club-you have the feeling of being in Hoolywood party-big big hause with 4 floors anf 4 types of music-nice residence-on Tibidabo This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I think that UAB should prepare the list of courses in english as well. For 2500 foreign students ,all descripcions of courses were done in catalan (even not in spanish)
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
They should more look after foreign students This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
Language difficulties
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: Basic phrases My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) Personal comments:
I didnt have much problems however the start was quite hard-but with the flow of time it has improved significently This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

It was not legal for me to work Personal spending habits:
The hausing in Barcelona is very expensive beacues of lack of spasc for all students- the naightlife is more expensive in total-what i mean is that you go-out so oftent that total sum spent is higher Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Food: was the same price as at home. Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
The only way to save money is to buy food in cheap chain-stores (El Dia, Lidl) these are really cheap This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
