For the University in itself, in fact, it is not that easy as it is very difficult to get catalan friends inside the university! But generally, people are nice! It is just a question of communication and adaptability!

I wish I had known...

I would´ve want to know about the courses and teaching methods more. I also didn´t know that catalan plays such a big role in this city.

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

When you go to Spain you must see some other parts of the country during you stay, because Spain is a big country and culture and habits varie a lot depending on the area. Me and my roommates rented a car for a week and went through five cities in the south, I´ll never forget that trip

“Excelente profesorado”

Overall

Realicé el Master de Gestión de Empresas de Moda Retail impartido por la UB en su primera edición y el elenco de profesores fue de altísima calidad. Todos ellos profesionales del mundo de la moda en sus diferentes especialidades, con enseñanza basada en experiencias, que acerca al alumno a la realidad de la empresa más allá de las clases.

Personal recommendation

Don't choose obligatory (for the Spanish) classes, they tend to be crowded and difficult to pass, while not providing much knowledge. Go for smaller free electives where you can talk to the professors personally.
