Universitat de Barcelona (UB)

you learn to manage your own household and living with other people is a growing experience

Low cost, very pleasant to live with other students

This way you get to live with other international students which is fun and interesting

Because I liked the independence. I liked that if I went away from home, not to have a cleaning and cooking lady to do things for me. I learned to live without my parents and that included all the luxury of having people doing things for me. I learned to go grocery shopping every monday afternoon. I learned to cook, to wash clothes, to do my bed everyday, to clean my own room and bathroom, etc. Things that at home I have people to do them for me. I learned to make my own rules and respect them by being responsible, etc. I would defenitely choose to rent an apartment and live there with a friend/s like I did that semester that I went to study abroad.

I like to have my space, and to live by myself; it helps me more to concentrate on studying

For my spanish it was great to live with a family(mother with her daughter), but from time to time I was missing the atmosphere among other students
