Final comments
Some knowledge of catalan is very useful. Initial courses of catalan are free of charge. There are some grants for international students, I recommend to apply to all. At the internet page of University you can find a lot of useful information.

Personal comments
Thera are two local languages, spanish and catalan, son at the beginning it was a bit difficult, but University provides free courses of catalan, so it was great and after studying I could choice some courses in catalan. Also we had some courses in English. The experience was positive.
