Couldn't have asked for more.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The university campus is really far from the center of Barcelona, like 30km. You will enjoy much more your experience ir you're living in the center. you will find prices in range of 300 to 400 (normal erasmus houses) depending on the location, facilities and so

I wish I had known...
That I will find my future husband there!Hihi Lucky me that I have chosen BCN! The City and way of life is great and in a few moths I hopefully will be back in BCN sharing a life with the man I had once met there!

To know the Spanish Lge at least a bit!



FINAL COMMENTS

Its quite useful when you know where to stay/live before you go to BCN as I found it really hard to find a nice place to share with people!They rent flats I couldnt imagine they exist! According to my experience a nice room (clean but tiny) will cost you minimum 300 Euro- if less you are lucky!
