Personal comments
There are some programms from the University, wich help you to find a accomodation. Its no problem to get some. The habitations for students are o.k. . But i think its better to search your accomodation private, because you have to live with Spain people to learn the language.

Personal comments
Host Language is Spanish, but locally obviously spoke Catalan. While understanding Catalan posed little problems, speaking and writing were very difficult. I didnt enjoy the classes we were given, and found them badly taught, so on finishing the basic course didnt advance. otherwise my spanish improved a lot, although perhaps not due to academia.

Be careful when choosing your courses! Take some time to study for the final exams, I had two hard weeks at the end because of that.

BCN is the best place to do your exchange program, I had the time of my life there and it was freaking awesome, I would do it again and again! It is the most amazing city.

The university is very small but effective. In contrary to my german university the classes are very small like in our school system and you can talk with your teacher during the lessons. I had a great time and I gained a lot of experiences in economics.

I wish you will make your decision FOR Spain and Barcelona because it was the best time in my life until now. The UPF is a big opportunity to increase your skills, you have a city with a lot of culture, beach and sea.
