I have a lot more leisure time here, so I go out for diner and drinks a lot more than back home. Since I am only here for a short period I wanted to see and do everything and of course that costs money

Barcelona isn´t a very expensive city, compared to for example Londen and Paris. You can have a really good diner in a restaurant here for a very reasonable price. Just watch the drinks when you go out because the raised all the prices incredibly since the existence of the EURO.

Avoid the Eixample district and instead look to Gracia for cheaper housing. Very good location for city amenities and for university, but a lot cheaper in most cases!

Everyone should use the opportunity to explore the country, culture and other aspects of the visiting country. So do not try to save all the money! :-)

Housing costs are incredibly high if you compare it to the standard. There is hardly any apartment with internet connection. Cash dispensers are available throughout the city.
