Course recommendations
I think we should have classes with local students as well as other study abroad students. It is usually only Americans in my classes. I would like to interact with a different mix of international and local students.

Final comments
I believe that Barcelona is an amazing city. It has so much culture and it really is the 'city that never sleeps' Some nights you can go out and go wild, and other nights you can just sit by the beach and relax. It is a great opportunity to experience something different in a large cosmopolitan city.
