Universitat de Barcelona (UB)

The cost to do anything is less, but in addition housing in Barcelona is very expensive and neither especially clean or good

to stay more with local people

there are a lot of erasmus students so it's easy to stay between people coming from your own country but this would be an error because the best of erasmu is to stay with people coming from different countries

to try a different thing, but I could live with a family again, Catalans let you live your life however you want it.

Because I liked the independence. I liked that if I went away from home, not to have a cleaning and cooking lady to do things for me. I learned to live without my parents and that included all the luxury of having people doing things for me. I learned to go grocery shopping every monday afternoon. I learned to cook, to wash clothes, to do my bed everyday, to clean my own room and bathroom, etc. Things that at home I have people to do them for me. I learned to make my own rules and respect them by being responsible, etc. I would defenitely choose to rent an apartment and live there with a friend/s like I did that semester that I went to study abroad.
