Personal comments
Large Clubs are fairly expensive, around 15 euros and so are drinks.
One can find small (i quote felipe) good clubs that are free.
Drinks are great, one is shocked at first: 7,5 Euros. But its almost all alcohol, so 3-4 will get u nicely going.
Buy three month metro ticket, but dont loose it.
Be very carefull with ur money, loooooadds of pick pocketers and muggers.

Personal recommendation
its new and very posh. Ppl slightly snobish, can get on one's nerves pretty quickly.
Courses are max 40 ppl, so contribution and staying awake is obligatory.
So is attendance in most classes, which can get a bit annoying.

good thing about this uni is that courses are in Castellano or English.
No catalan ones, so dont worry.

HousingType of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
No campus accomodation available, so best second choice is to find a house with people that one can meet.
