Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB)

Because I consider myself very independent... And I like to have a space of my own... Althougt I recognize that living with other people would have helped to enjoy of different experiences... But right noe I'm working on my personal growth.

That I will find my future husband there!Hihi Lucky me that I have chosen BCN! The City and way of life is great and in a few moths I hopefully will be back in BCN sharing a life with the man I had once met there!

To know the Spanish Lge at least a bit!

Take in mind that local language is not spanish but Catalan, so if you plan to attend the UAB it will happen to you as it was for me that you will have classes in catalan; this may be shocking, but you will see that teachers will try (at least some of them( to help. BUt do not ask them to make the class in spanish; since their language is catalan. Just try to see if you can pick only classes that are given in spanish, check this out before you start the course: go to see the professors and ask them.

The most relevant problem to international students is the catalan language; is your own choice if you choose to be in Barcelona you have to deal woith it; personally I end up writing my tesis on Catalan culture, and to me it wa very interesting; I also lived in Barcelona during 3 additional years so catalan identity is something I had to learn.

I live in a shared appartment and my flatmates are just great! Like a second family!

ASK for information. My experience is that it wont come to you automatically, if you ask and search however, people will be very helpful.

Theres is very little information easily avalaible, this point could be improved. (information on courses, languages, matriculación etc.)

Yes. Barcelona is great, I mean GREAT. But its a lot cooler (I mean, cold!) than what I've expected, in winter.

Thius may sound bad, but I would recommend you to ask your teachers to sign out somewhere saying you've been to their classes and passed the exam. I'm having troubles because a teacher lost my exam and I have no way to prove that I've done it!
