Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB)

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

Most people speak catalan here. So if you you know spanish quite well learn catalan, if you don't do a spanish language course.

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.

I wish I did an intensive language course before comming.. now i waited to long and i had to few time to enjoy my new skills

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

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.
