ESADE Business School

The strategy courses of Mr Parada are quite interesting. He is a very enthousiastic profesor who teaches very well with very interesting real life cases.

Some courses could have been more challenging. But for me it was already some challenge, because all of it was in Spanish.

I wished I had known more time in advance that I was going to Barcelona. Then I would have studied more Spanish in advance and my Spanish would have been even better.

ESADE is a well-organised university. It is small and if you are there only for a short period it is certainly an advantage, because you get to know lots of people.

I spend a lot of money on telephone, because my boyfriend was at the same time doing an internship in Bangkok and calling to Thailand was very expensive. Nightlife was more expensive for two reasons. One is that the drinks and entrances in Spain are higher than in my home country. The second reason is that I went out a lot more in Barcelona than I normally do in Holland. I spend more on travelling because I wanted to see some cities outside Barcelona and didn´t have a public transport card like I have in Holland.

It gives you a lot of freedom and the possibility to find your own roommates.
