Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
i really think it's worthwhile to have an apartement in the city. the campus is 40min. away from barcelona, and in my opinion you'll miss out a lot of barcelona nightlife by staying at the campus. go poblenou! :)

Food and accommodation are generally considerably cheaper in Spain than in Ireland. Spent more on travel for obvious reasons. Phone costs were greater because of keeping in touch with friends back in Ireland.

It is beneficial that the university arranged accomodation for the students however choice of location was limited as spaces in Barcelona and the university campus were quickly filled.
