Personal spending habits
I spend less in food here for the food is cheaper, I spend more in telephone for I use my mobil a lot more and I dont have to pay accommodation in my home country. The travel factor is about the same, eventhough I travel less in Iceland and the nightlife is also more or less the same. So over all its the same, for I save alot in some factors but then spend more in others.

Personal comments
In la autonoma catalan is the official language, even though most of my classes were in espanol. But all advertisments and papers from the bourd are in catalan so that factor was sometimes a little hard.

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.
