Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I stayed at a small town near the university campus; living in Barcelona would have been much better and the price, surprisingly, about the same.

It's quite easy to get a room near the university campus: you see many advertising in the walls and in the internet page too

“4 años de música clásica”
Lorena P
Spain,
Music and Musicology, 2022
OverallHan sido 4 años en los que han pasado muchas cosas y no ha sido una situación fácil. En Cataluña, se vivió el 1 de octubre. Día en que salió la sentencia de los presos políticos. Además, se ha vivido una pandemia mundial. Y, en el úlimo año, la UAB sufrió un ataque informático.
Casi todos los profesores eran expertos en sus materias y con ellos se pudo aprender muchísimo. Habian algunos profesores que no tenian ni idea. Por culpa de ellos, hay ramas en las que no me se desenvolver.
Considero que la UAB podría haber llevado mejor las situaciones, una mejor conexión de internet, una variedad de asignaturas, no solo música clásica y centrada solo en Europa, se podrían poner más optativas y podría haber contratado mejores profesores.

Careers
La UAB ofrece una serie limitada de prácticas. En mi carrera, solo se ofrecian las prácticas de manera optátiva y solo a 18 alumnos.
Realicé las prácticas en el Archivo de la Catedral de Mallorca. Esto pudo ser posible, ya que la responsable del Archivo se puso en contacto con un profesor de la carrera de musicologia de la UAB. Se nos ofreció hacer las prácticas a las alumnas que eramos (y somos) de Mallorca.
Las prácticas internacionales creo que no eran posibles.

Don't study to much - you can do at home. Go into the city, into nightlife! Use the possibileties of a big city to make volunteer and get practical experience.

Personal comments
In Barcelona there are just to many things to see. The night life is great. There are hundreds of disco´s all over the city. Mirablau, Bucaro, Otto Zutz, Rosebud are some cool disco´s. If you want to have some good food you can always buy the Guia del Ocio.
