Overall
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
There are so many places to go at night that it is hard to choose one place or a specific area, however, I enjoy going out in the Gracia barrio as there are a lot of smaller, more intimate bars. There are many places to visit in Barcelona; Parc Guell, Sagrada Familia, Parque de la Cuitadella, any other park in the city, Montjuic, Tibidabo, etc.

Bars: Oveja negra-the students pup near the Ramblas. Most of the bars in "Gracia" the best part of the town to celebrate. Events: In the last weeks of September there is the traditional Barcelona-Party. With many groups and other actors. All gratis. The Student Party of the University Autonoma outside from Barcelona. Its the greatest party for students, wich I ever seen.

I enjoyed spending time at the polo club in barcelona as i became very good friends with the people there. the parties we had were incredible! primarily in clubs such as Carpe Diem or Buddah Bar. Favorite nightspots have to be Marie Cubie for bar hopping and then onto one of the surrounding clubs nearby.
