Universitat de Barcelona (UB)

You must point out first what your main objectives are. If you are planning to learn the language, or if you are planning to study something specifically or if you are interested in the University. If you want to speak the language, choose classes where you can socialize more, if you want to specialize on that subject this place has the best, do it and try to see why, and if you are interest in the University, try to know it all. Be sure that mixing these objectives is good but that having a mainly objective is necessary.

Try to make friends fast! Be shameless and maybe you will find some friends. Try it the hard as you can because they will help you choosing classes, apartments, neighborhoods and will make your trip unforgettable.

Euro makes everything expensive. The convertion to real is 2,80 reais buy 1 euro, so everything seems much much expensive. The night clubs were good and actually less expensive that the ones in Brazil, maybe because there are more, and the food is not that expensive to, if you know how to cook.

Acctually I think that the less you know the more you will improve while in an experience like it. I don´t have any regrets by now.

The university is great, but the catalan and the socialist embiasis complicates some things.

The independence and the troubles regarding it, is something i was hopping to live thru this experience. Negotiate, was stressful but cooking and cleaning have proven to be very easy.
