If you want to learn spanish I recomend one of the courses on the university.. 50 percent discount for erasmus. It forces you to speak spanish and not english like in many eramsus environments..

Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
They have for different subjects..courses different languages. There is no list of witch group is in witch language so you have to go to all the groups and teachers to ask them.. this is time consuming.. At the end it worked out ok but i imagin it can be done easier

Final comments
I wish you all a very nice stay here.. its a very nice city becaus it has it all.. Culture, nightlife, beach, great festivals, and a university that accepts erasmus students. The only thing... i don't know nothing about the level of the UB university in the center.. but if it is good i would prefer studying in the center and not 30 minuts with the train out of the center.

Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
because the campus that uab offers looks like depressing and is out of the center of barcelona

Personal comments
the housing that uab offers is sharing rooms (not flat), if you don't have problems with this it can be ok. It stays outside of the center but close to university.. it's what you think is most important being close to the city or to the university..
