Personal comments
I shared a house with approximatly twenty foreign students, who came from across the whole world. Most of them spoke english and were at different levels of spanish. It was a very fulfulling experience; living in such a multi-cultural house. Though it did not help our spanish, as we all found it much easier to speak in english instead! Living with spanish students would have been more beneficial, but I do not regret my decision to move into such a vibrant house. Also, it was only a mere twenty minutes by metro to the city-centre and approximatly forty-five minutes to university.

“Interesante pero no adecuado”
Eric D
Spain,
Communication and Information Sciences, 2022
Overall
Creo que el curriculum que hice durante mis cuatro años de la carrera de comunicación audiovisual contenia una mezlca de asignaturas mas relacionadas con el cine, la televisión y la fotografia entre otros, pero tambien se le daba la misma importancia a varias asignaturas teoricas un tanto redundantes. No es por decir que estas clases no tengan temario interesante, pero no me parece adecuado la cantidad de tiempo que se invierte en asignaturas mas adecuadas a carreras como el periodismo o cienca de la comunicación.

Careers
La universidad me ha facilitado el contacto con una de las empresas en las que hice pràcticas y además dejan disponible una bolsa de trabajo y una red de contactos para organizar proyectos. La verdad que en este aspecto la UB ha proporcionado varias oportunidades.

Pros
Su capacidad de adaptar-se, ya que en menos de una decada han cambiado su temario para incluir nuevas tendencias y tecnologias.
Cons
Actualmente, el grado que curse tiene un curriculum academico en mi opinión mucho más potente y pràctico. Ahora les tocaria conseguir más material para los alumnos aunque depende de los presuspuestos limitados que reciben.

Personal comments
Their service is based on: "first come, first serve" basis. Be prepared to spend several weeks living in Hostels and the like until finding an accomodation!
