Personal comments
The campus is well out of town, half an hour at least, and so living in the student village on campus just didnt appeal. I think most rooms were shared as well, which is not ideal. You can get them to find you a host family, but i went independently, as did practically everyone else i met, and its definitely better i reckon

Personal spending habits
vegetables are cheaper in Spain. I travelled more than in Germany, but the costs for buses or trains are lower! The spanish bus system is quite good!
accommodation was cheaper, but I lived in a doble room outside the city, compared to the whole situation, it was more expensive, because I'm living in a single apartment in the city of Cologne.
Telephone costs depend on your own "addiction".

It´s very far from Barcelona for being a barcelonese University (about 40 km)so get yourself a Three-Month-Trainticket. It will save you money.

you don't pay to enter in many nightclubs, you just have to register in their guestlists. But the price of a drink inside were like a shock to me! For groceries try Mercadona, Carrefour or Lidl. Dia is also cheap but lacks to much in quality. As for telephone use Yoigo
