Personal comments
Most places are good, as long as you stay within a bunch of friends who knows the place better than you do :) It´s also best to have some local friends with you.

HousingType of housing: A cosy Bed & Breakfast place at Passeig de Gracia.
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
The experience of living with other students is delightful. Through time, one learns better about the ways and customs of another. However, to have the opportunity to live with a true Spanish family is something I believe to be very enriching as well. It will be a different experience in a different environment. You receive the concerns of a family as well as the fun of being with friends at the same time.

Personal comments
The Residence is said to be too expensive, too small and uncomfortable. However, the facilities are modern, efficient and convenient.
