Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
In the UB there is no campus, and in your own house, you have more possibilities in Bcn.

Course recommendations
It's a good idea to obtain the Medical Conversation Guide which gives interpretations for terminology and medical expressions in Catalan, English and Castellano from the Servei de Llengua Catalana office at the medical faculty. It's very handy in order to get along on the wards and during the classes.

The language at the University is Spanish and English. But most of the locals speak Catalan. Living in Barcelona was a great way to improve both Spanish and Catalan! Now I'm trilingual!

Personal comments
Las Ramblas is fun, but there are a lot of tourists there. OttoZoots was a really fun club. Barcelona is just full of great places to eat and go clubbing. Explore as much as you can.
