Personal comments
Not all the teachers have the same professional level. Some of them are really good and have a lot of experience in both business and teaching. But there are also a few teachers who are just crazy and bad in English.

Get a Spanish phone!
Get a public transport discount ticket at UAB.
If you like to go out a lot to clubs get a member of Barcelona Connect Club Card. But you have to get in before 02.00 for free entrance.

Overall
I wish I had known...
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
It's a professional business school with good qualities. The only thing I didn't liked was that I had class every day of the week, beginning at 08.00 and sometimes ending very late in the evening. It was very busy and therefore I missed a lot of the Erasmus Student live, like travelling, going out. I would prefer to did it more often.

Personal comments
ESEC provides you with information and tips how to take care for housing. They also gave before the beginning of the course a document with possible flats. But students have to take care for it themselves.

Personal comments
There are a lot of clubs to go out for dancing, just describe on Facebook for the guest list. Get in before 02.00 and you don't pay entrance fee.
Beside the clubs there are plenty of bars and cafés in Barcelona. The cheapest I know is Sugar Bar (very small cosy bar), near Plaza Real, a beer is here 1,50 + a free shot!
