Commentaire personnel

Weekly trips to watch Barca or Espanyol are a must. Republic House is run by English lads but with a great mix of people, nothing like your average British run bar in Barcelona. Razzmatazz, Apolo, La Paloma are excellent clubs

Commentaire personnel

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

Commentaire personnel

Im not taking into account Catalan, but it is all over the place here. Maybe i should have made more of an effort to learn it too but i just wanted to improve my spanish as much as possible, and i definitely did. That said, it would surely have been more beneficial, looking back, to have gone to a smaller town somewhere less touristy in that sense!

Recommandations de cours

Just make sure you dont pick something taught in Catalan if you are not learning it too, its quite an easy trap to fall into.

Not really, just make sure you make as much an effort as possible to integrate fully with local students, something i definitely didnt do enough of

Avoid the Eixample district and instead look to Gracia for cheaper housing. Very good location for city amenities and for university, but a lot cheaper in most cases!
