Personal comments
the university is outside of Barcelona, at first i though that was a fault, but now Ive learn to love it...for it means that at least three times a week(I got 3 days to class) I go out of the city and in tho something a little bit green :o)...I like the environment of the campus, its a small village in itself with rather big areas of grass and in my faculty the profesors are open and friendly.

“Gran universidad con grandes instalaciones”
Ruth V
Spain, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2003
OverallAunque hace años que acabé la carrera, sigo recomendando la UAB como universidad sin la menor duda. Aparte de un campus fantástico, con instalaciones modernas y unas geniales bibliotecas, el nivel académico es alto y la exigencia de los estudios no deja indiferente. Es una universidad de verdad, donde el estudiante es independiente y ha de trabajar de verdad para aprender y aprobar.

The specific office gives you one address and that's it. They don't want to give you more help.
