Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB)

I had some problems answering the above questions since, at the UAB, I regard spanish to be the language of instruction although catalan was also frequently used by professors and students. I tried to choose courses in Spanish, since I speak it fluently, but it was sometimes difficult. Outside university, I could easily get around speaking spanish although in some situations, it made it more difficult to get to konw people.

It was a great experience for me to spend a semester in Barcelona; I definitely recommend to do it, because living in this amazing city is just great. Again, I would also recommend to acquire some command of Catalán in order to know better local people and culture.

Make the most of a year abroad,it is one hell of an experience,more people should get the chance to discover another culture. It really is down to what you make of the year yourself.
