Personal recommendation
It felt more like a school to me than a university as students are very young and the courses are not as scientific as in my home university.

Personal comments
The levels of sifficulty among courses should be consistent. Because some courses, like Leadership and Motivation, required a very minimal amount of work while others like, Risk Management and Real Estate required a very heavy commitment.

Personal comments
Stay away from Las Ramblas for nightlife. As you will hear from native Barcelonans, no Spanairds go to las Ramblas. There are much better places to go in Gracia and all around the city. There is so much to see and do in Barcelona that you could spend a year there and still not cover everything. Definitely spend a day relaxing at Parc Guell, a daytrip to the beaches of Sitges, walk down las Ramblas during the day (watch your wallet), take the bus tour (its expensive but well worth it), see Sagrada Familia, go up to the castle at Montjuic for some beautiful views, watch the light show at the fountains on the base of Montjuic on Fridays or Saturdays around 8 o'clock at night, etc. Other than that, just walk around and soak in all the beautiful architecture.

AcademicCourse recommendations
A Corporate Restructuring class is highly recommended for finance people. The course includes simulations of the IPO process and case studies of key M&A deals.

Personal comments
Some courses met only once a week, so the class was three hours long. This could probably be changed so that the course meets more often during the week and not for such a long period of time.

Personal spending habits
Leaving in a city suh as Barcela is of course more expensive then at home. Housing is probably the main difference. I spend more due to the fact that I wished to enjoy a maximum. Everyday life is at a reasonable cost.
