The university provides students with a very useful list of translation agencies to do an internship with. However, due to personal interests, I would rather find my own.

I wish I had known...
If you want to go to Barcelona at night and you do not live there, there is nearly no train back after 11 pm.

Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Most people speak catalan here. So if you you know spanish quite well learn catalan, if you don't do a spanish language course.

Final comments
I think I did the right choice.
Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
A study of an academic magazine now proved that the faculty of economics and business studies at the UAB is one of the best in Europe.
I think the courses are more practical than my courses in Germany.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
I spent less on food and overall living expenses during my stay abroad as the cost of living in the host country was generally lower than at home. I spent more on telephone calls as I called family and friends more often being away from home and most of which were international calls. Accomodation whilst reasonably priced cost more abroad, as at home as I lived in the family home not in rented accomodation. I spent less on nightlife and travel as I did not have much social life nor did I travel a lot, only to university, therefore travel expenses were relatively cheap. Overall I spent roughly the same abroad as I did at home. Whilst I saved money in some areas I spent more in others.

They have for different subjects..courses different languages. There is no list of witch group is in witch language so you have to go to all the groups and teachers to ask them.. this is time consuming.. At the end it worked out ok but i imagin it can be done easier

I wish you all a very nice stay here.. its a very nice city becaus it has it all.. Culture, nightlife, beach, great festivals, and a university that accepts erasmus students. The only thing... i don't know nothing about the level of the UB university in the center.. but if it is good i would prefer studying in the center and not 30 minuts with the train out of the center.

in general, spain is regarded as less expencive country than, say, scandinavian countries, but barcelona isn't really that cheap. be prepared of for instance not getting any student discounts on your train/busfares.

folks! everytime you withdraw money from the atm, your local bank will take about 2-3 euros of service fees. i didnt know this. nice surprise.
also, if you want to take a language course before venturing to the real classes, be prepared to pay aprox. 200e.
a tip: if you are a cinema enthusiast, and have to get your fix of films each week, i suggest that you go to the cinema on monday: it's generally known as the spectator day, when movie ticket will cost you only 4e.
