spain is not that much of a surprise

no living next to it

In 1996 I participated in an AFS Exchange to Argentina and lived with an Argentine family for a year. This was a wonderful experience as it gave me the opportunity to live and breathe everything that was part of the Argentine culture. I would definately repeat this experience but have also immensely enjoyed living in an apartment whilst being in Spain. I shared this apartment with 7 others from various parts of the world. Living in such close quarters with so many increased immensly my levels of cultural understandings and now value greatly the differences that can lie between two people of the same age yet from different parts of the world. I would definately repeat this learning experience again should I be given another chance.

I found prices in general just a bit less than I was used to in Atlanta, GA. Accomodations are typically cheaper for a good location, but of course it is less space. go with the ofertas. The rest of Spain is much cheaper.

Because Barcelona is a very expensive city. Moreover, I felt the need to experience the city, the Spanish way of life, and also travel to other countries. All of the above require quite a lot of money.

Most students in Barcelona live in apartments or with their family. It is often cheaper than a residence and it provides for greater independance.

Deodorant here is different. It is strictly deodorant not deodorant and antipersprant.

It has alot of facilities for you to use: Bolsa de Trajbajo, computers, library etc. And the class are entertaining and instructional if you want them to be but they are also not an to much amount of work if you don´t want them to be
