Universitat de Barcelona (UB)

There's so much to do in Barcelona, I'd wish I hadn't wait to do certain things or visited places like parks or museums until the end. You think "I will have plenty of time to do that later" but you don't. Get to know the people and Barcelona since the first day you arrive!

Winter semester doesn't have a lot of student activities (parties, day trips,..) like the spring one(feb-june).The campus of facultats economiques is nice, but central campus is prettier, it's worth visiting it.

The amount of trouble it takes to get a student residency card. No one tells you that you have to line up at 5am to 3pm a couple of times, before anyone even looks at your papers... It's rediculous!

I loved it because I met a lot of really nice people from many other countries and parts of spain, but the university itself is a far cry from any I've ever been to. I've studied at Univeristy of Salamanca, University of Toronto and York University and this is the worst organized univeristy with highly unfriendly staff. I think the international experience was good, but you can get that at any other foreign university. Better to go to University of Salamanca, if you want to study in Spain.

I think the students quality of english, is quite low, but another hand, the quality of matimatices is really really high. Some courses was in Catalan, and I dont speak catalan, and it is quite similare to fraces, but it does not matter, becaouse I dont speak frances either. I asked the teacher to change the langues, but he told me No. some teachers changed the langue and some not, a friend of maid, got the answer, I am not your spanish teacher¡ so then I am going to have the clase in katalan. The courses is quite dificult and I dont think it is more easy for the erasmusstudent as for the catalan students, I mean I fail Economices history of catalonia, and I was in barcelona whit erasmus, but another hand I pass marco 4. I Think in sweden all the erasmus pass everything, but not here, I have so many exemple for this one, last semester was is a couses call MOF ( matimatices operation and finace) and all esramus student failed the exam) Another thing to think about is the reexamen is in september, so if you fail a examen in january, you have to wait until september. I failed Micro 3 and have to wait until september, I told to the teacher, and he told me, youhav to wait until september like averybody.

I wouldlike to hav emore assingments to do becaouse here was it just the examen in the end of the semester, and at the end avertbody lock the door and trew way the key for studing like an ... on one way, I liked it, becaouse during the semster was it great, nut in the the end of the semester was is terrible, but anoter hand, I am not sure if it is a good way to study or not, if was had more assingments to do, we had to be more creative and do something, not just be studing for the examen
