Personal comments
Barcelona is full of cafes, bars, restaurants, and clubs with various themes, atmospheres, flavors, and price ranges. The city has a great social scene. Students go out late (since supper isn't served until after 9) and then stay out until morning. Popular spots to go out are Maremagnum on the waterfront, a complex of shops, restaurants, and clubs, the restaurants along Passeig Gracia, and the bars around Placa del Sol. Les Bosq des Fades off La Rambla, Cafe d l'Opera on La Rambla, and Euskal Etxea in La Ribera are some places to check out.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The best thing is to rent a whole apartment with several rooms because it gives you the needed independence and you will be our own boss, on top you can have parties.

Personal comments
The best thing is to arrange accomodation before you go to Barcelona. Remember, a lot of people go to Barcelona, but a lot of Erasmus are also moving out each year. Try to get the room of a student of your uni who was the year before in BCN. People complain that they couldnt find a room because the Uni didnt help them need to grow up, your on your own and that is reality.

Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
spend enough time in shopping, specially the boqueria is worth to spend hours there. apart from saving money you'll really enjoy shopping at barcelonas biggest market. used items you can buy at the second-hand market at the market of encants.

Course recommendations
I will not recommed any subjects specific, but have a good look a the subject that you want to do and verify with the International Relation Office if it is possible to follow the course in Spanish. All subject are given in Catalonian and next to that in Spanish, I had to go for one course to another faculty. But that is Barcelona, everything is in the Catalonian language

I would prefer more interactiveness between students and teachers. Next to that they should change their accommodation to make it a more friendly study area.

Course recommendations
Some courses are in Catalan and as a foreign student it is hard enough to understand something of the Spanish classes, so that´s why I really boicot the Catalan classes. Also some inscriptions etc. are in the Catalan language (all the information of the sportcentre of the university for example), it is really strange in my opinion that they don´t have it in Spanish)

The academic level isn´t the highest. Everything is being repeated over and over. If you are a student with some academic level than this isn´t necessary.
