HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I live in a shared appartment and my flatmates are just great! Like a second family!
Personal comments:
The accomodation offered by the uni is expensive and the main problem is that you have to share your bedroom. Plus, the Universitat Autonoma is very far from BCN centre, not very convenient! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
