Fantastic nightlife in Barcelona! Most of the best places are off the beaten track, so you need to be in the know to find them. Our main hang outs were Discotheque in Poble Esanyol, which becomes an open air nightclub called Terrazza during the summer months. Maremagnum is a bit of a touist trap and teh drinks are expensive, but it is still worth a visit! It is a shopping centre by day, and they play good music, the clubs are mostly free, and you can wander in and out of them all. You'll find little gems of bars, for example dot, the london bar, salsita's, just off the ramblas in the surrounding windy roads.

Personal recommendation
In my opnion it would be important for this university to inform every erasmus student that some courses are avaiable only in catalan before the arrive of them. I am favourable to the use of catalan in UAB but foreign student must to be informed of this situation before to leave their home university

I had a pretty good idea of the university before going thanks to its web pages and the things I had heard from previous ERASMUS students at the UAB.

“Campus universitario acogedor”

Overall
Los docentes del Campus facilitan la vida y el desarrollo de los cursos. Así como las instalaciones, que al estar tan juntas unas facultades de otras, recuerda a una pequeña villa (campus) por lo que los estudiantes hemos estado estudiando todos en un mismo "pueblo". Muchas bibliotecas, flexibilidad de horarios, residencia de estudiantes en el campus...
Ha sudo, considero, la mejor decisión que he podido tomar. Estudiar en la Autónoma de Barcelona es una oportunidad única para la formación educativa.
