Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important

Choose home near the Ferrocaril because Autonoma is at Bellaterra, a bit far from Barcelona (30 minutes).

Go living in the center of the city (Raval, Barrio Gotico or Gracia) and go to:
Fallas de Valencia (March);
Semana Santa in Sevilla (better than Feria d'Abril);
OVERALL SAN FERMIN (PAMPLONA 6-14 JULY)

I believe that Barcelona is an amazing city. It has so much culture and it really is the 'city that never sleeps' Some nights you can go out and go wild, and other nights you can just sit by the beach and relax. It is a great opportunity to experience something different in a large cosmopolitan city.
