Personal comments
In Germany at most Universities you get a ticket that you can use free the buses and the trains of the city. Here you have to buy the tickets which cost between 3700 pts and 6200 a month for one or two zones. Sometimes you have to buy additional tickets.

Personal comments
Before I went to Spain I spoke Spanish quite well because I studied it at school and at the University. I also did a language course last year in Granada. At the UAB I participated in a catalan course because it is the oficial language here. So I can speak this language quite well now, too.

I think I did the right choice.
Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
A study of an academic magazine now proved that the faculty of economics and business studies at the UAB is one of the best in Europe.
I think the courses are more practical than my courses in Germany.
