Universitat de Barcelona (UB)

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.

For me studying abroad was one of the best experiences in my life, I got to know a lot of people, a new country with its culture, improved my Spanish, learned a lot about myself, became more independent, ....

pretty much of what i expected as barcelona is a big city.
