Housing
Type of housing: I shared it with a catalan guy
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
A lot of privacy. Living with a spanish person also introduces you to the spanish way of living..

Academic
Course recommendations
As I could not speak spanish or catalan fluently, my choice of courses was severely limited. I would recommend sorting out the availability of courses before you leave the country, as the organisation from my university and the host university was poor.

Personal comments
Generally more dicipline to the foreign students; make it compulsary to meet with a tutor at least once a week. As I got the impression that the majority of tutors did not bother with the foreign students, & usually left them to do whatever; drifting in & out the classes. Of course, the language barriers did not help.
