Personal comments

In Barcelona there are just to many things to see. The night life is great. There are hundreds of disco´s all over the city. Mirablau, Bucaro, Otto Zutz, Rosebud are some cool disco´s. If you want to have some good food you can always buy the Guia del Ocio.

“Opinión Gestión Aeronáutica en la UAB”

Overall

Los cuatro años que curse Gestión Aeronáutica en la universidad Autónoma de Barcelona tuve asignaturas realmente utilices t fascinantes que me permitieron recibir una educación de alta calidad que sin lugar a dudas me servirá para mí futuro profesional. Done en la mayoría de ellas había un profesorado altamente cualificado que se encargaba de transmitir los conocimientos de una manera bien estructurada, lo que permitía un mayor y fácil aprendizaje. La carrera se realizaba en un campus aparte al de Bellaterra, donde permitía al alumnado estudiar sin ser molestado, en un ambiente donde el objetivo común era aprender y realizar una buena preparación.

Pros

Buena preparación, buena bolsa de empleo y un profesorado ejemplar en la mayoría de las ocasiones.

Overall

I wish I had known...

That ppl at this university were so very unfriendly & everything but nice (and that it's not philosophy what they're teaching over there)

Personal recommendation

They should really think about changing the way they deal with people. Change philosophy teachers and most administrative staff, they should be there to give a hand, not the other way round.

Final comments

Unless you live on the moon you'd better stay home than study philos. at this university. Go to any other university in Barcelona, the city is worth it. And don't expect to learn Spanish here, it just ain't the right place.

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

I don´t like to live with families. I like the independence. Besides, I had to travel by train to go to university. I was looking for an appartment that was close to the trainstation in the centre of Barcelona.

Expenses

Main source of funding:

Family

Other sources of funding:

An ERASMUS grant

Work opportunities:

I worked during my study abroad experience

Personal spending habits

I spent more because in Ireland I live at home with my parents and in Barcelona I obvioulsy had to fend for myself.Overall everything is cheaper than in Ireland but because an Erasmus year is enjoyable you go out more and socialize more, travel more etc.

Telephone:

was more expensive than at home.

Overall, Nightlife, Housing, Food, Travel:

was less expensive than at home.

Accessibility of student needs

Second-hand text books
