It is quite a distance from the city centre but the transport system is so good that it really doesn't matter.

Make the most of a year abroad,it is one hell of an experience,more people should get the chance to discover another culture.
It really is down to what you make of the year yourself.

Personal comments
The campus is well out of town, half an hour at least, and so living in the student village on campus just didnt appeal. I think most rooms were shared as well, which is not ideal. You can get them to find you a host family, but i went independently, as did practically everyone else i met, and its definitely better i reckon

Personal spending habits
vegetables are cheaper in Spain. I travelled more than in Germany, but the costs for buses or trains are lower! The spanish bus system is quite good!
accommodation was cheaper, but I lived in a doble room outside the city, compared to the whole situation, it was more expensive, because I'm living in a single apartment in the city of Cologne.
Telephone costs depend on your own "addiction".

It´s very far from Barcelona for being a barcelonese University (about 40 km)so get yourself a Three-Month-Trainticket. It will save you money.

you don't pay to enter in many nightclubs, you just have to register in their guestlists. But the price of a drink inside were like a shock to me! For groceries try Mercadona, Carrefour or Lidl. Dia is also cheap but lacks to much in quality. As for telephone use Yoigo

It's not that different from Porto, Portugal. Taxes are lower than in Portugal, so the prices are kind of balanced
