Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It is a chance to meet new people, live like the Spaniards, become more independent, looking after yourself.

Personal comments
The University accommodation was out beside the University, out of the city of Barcelona, so the social side to living out there mainly occurred during the week, as many of the Spanish who lived there went home on the weekends, so it is better to find your own accommodation in the city.

Personal comments
Learning new languages is a wonderful thing to me. I would like to say, although the language of instruction and the language of the city are both catalan, a lot of people there speek spanish and you have no problems at all if you don't know catalan (only in some classes, nut they let you write your exams and your works in spanish). I didn't learn much catalan, but my spanish improved A LOT!

“Falta más práctica en lugar de tanta teoría”
Judith C
Spain, Undergraduate
Journalism, 2018
OverallRecientemente he acabado la carrera de Periodismo. Se trata de un grado que está centrado en clases teóricas. Hay muchos trabajos en casa y se asiste poco a clase (en comparación con otras carreras y universidades). Si te gusta el oficio, no dudes en hacer la carrera pero no vas a disfrutar tanto como crees.

“Máster Historia de la Ciencia”
Lila S
Spain, Graduate
History, 2020
Overall
Un máster muy recomendado si eres amante de la historia y la comunicación científica. Si te gusta escribir como a mi, sin duda tienes que escoger la rama de comunicación, enfocada a la redacción de contenidos. Los profesores en general son de lo mejorcito, se nota que dominan sus asignaturas y hacen lo posible para ayudarte y enseñarte.
