Universitat de Barcelona (UB)

I shared a house with approximatly twenty foreign students, who came from across the whole world. Most of them spoke english and were at different levels of spanish. It was a very fulfulling experience; living in such a multi-cultural house. Though it did not help our spanish, as we all found it much easier to speak in english instead! Living with spanish students would have been more beneficial, but I do not regret my decision to move into such a vibrant house. Also, it was only a mere twenty minutes by metro to the city-centre and approximatly forty-five minutes to university.

I like it, because I have the opportunity to know new people.

In my case, I had an excellent family. And because of that it made the experience quite pleasant. But it really depends on how you get along with your family.

I got an appartment with some friends so the Universita wasn't involved

I wish the university had arranged for all the students to live together.
