Course recommendations
Be sure that your courses are in spanish and not in catalan, specially at the beginning it is really hard to understand it. tell the teachers that you are a foreigner at the beginning.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Just because the average size of the homes in Barcelona are rather small, and I am used to having my own space. At first, although a little nervous because my Spanish originally wasn't at a really high level, it was good to have a place with a family because there is so much for them to teach you. But after a couple of months, I really could've used my own space with my own things.

Personal comments
In my case, I had an excellent family. And because of that it made the experience quite pleasant. But it really depends on how you get along with your family.

“Con muy buenos recuerdos, pero académicamente poco recomendable”

Education, Primary, 2019
Overall
Los cursos donde más aprendí fueron primero y tercero que es cuando se tienen las prácticas en los centros educativos. Considero que las asignaturas son muy teóricas o muy alejadas de la realidad educativa en la que luego nos encontraremos. Deberían enseñarte más didáctica, a atender a diferentes dificultades de aprendizaje, saber elaborar un PI y un largo etcétera.

Pros
Su bar, sus increíbles espacios en la naturaleza, la tranquilidad que se respira arriba del todo donde está la biblioteca...Y la gente, clarísimamente.
Cons
Todo lo relativo a lo académico, es decir, todo.

Finding decent accomodation in BCN isn't easy - but then you won't be spending lot's of time at home anyway, so take it easy...
