there are so many things to see and places to visit, I can´t point out the best ones. The best in BCN is that you can find whatever you´re looking for.

Academic
Course recommendations
at least in my case there wasn´t any guiding or assistance in the beginning, so I had to find it out all by myself. They could provide a bit more information to help the exchange students to get started

Personal comments
I allready knew spanish before I went to study in BCN, but it was quite a surprise that 90 % of all clases were in catalan. And it allways depend on the professor you choose/get . So, you never know ... luckily in most cases it is possible change the group.

Normally the prices are lower in BCN than in Helsinki, but somehow I allways spend more money outside home. There are a lot more opportunities to see and to experience things, so I wanted to take advantage of it .
