ESADE Business School

Nothing in Barcelona is open in August

Take time to make a good decision about where you´ll live, it will be important. I lived with all exchange students, but I would have preffered to have a few catalán people living with me also.

Looking back, there's so much I wish I would have known. But if I would have known it, I don't think it would have been the same experience that it was. I think everyone wants to know a lot before they go to a different place, but it's almost good to go there without knowing everything, because then you don't know what to expect. If there's anything I would suggest, make a list of things that you want to do, and make sure you do them. Plan them either before or after you get over there, but be open to change. For once, go with the flow and see where it takes you. Other people will know of great things to do as well, so don't be set on doing everything that you read in travel guides. You may find something even more amazing. And odds are that if you're doing something in a travel guide, everyone else who reads that travel guide is going to be doing it too.

I recommend studying there and living with native Spanish-speakers. Meet international students and try to interact with the local students as well.

Probably just to relax a little more, not worry about getting things done since it is much easier than I thought.

I would highly recommend ESADE for anyone interested in international business and living in a lively city.
