Personal recommendation
Academically better than either ESADE or Autonomo for Economics, lags ESADE for Business studies. Strength of Economics faculty depends largely on quality of visiting professors and some of the professors holding dual professorships at foreign universities - make sure that the professor that you want will be there while you are.

Final comments
PhD programme in Economics is an excellent option. Support and attention granted to graduate students much better than that experienced at most North European and UK institutions and without comparison in Spain. It has excellent research partnerships with top notch institutions (i.a., the LSE) and has managed to position itself as a leading force within economic research (micro, macro, growth, rational expectations theory), only surpassed by the LSE in terms of publications in Europe. However, it still lags in terms of academic quality outside the Economics department.

www.loquo.com is the best website to look at to find accomodation.
Univ. Pompeu Fabra recommends ONIX and RESA as student residences and they are both great and you can choose one of them dependinig on your budget but you have to reserve your place beforehand, months ago.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: with other students who speak spanish
Why?
Although I benifitted from living with a family, it would give me more freedom and independence

Personal comments
The University has a very good atmosphere, the site i studied at was on the Rambla. The teachers are very explanitory, and they give you a placement test beforehand. The one things that i feel are lacking in this U. are: the computers suck, they don´t have any art programs or athletic programs, only provide you with information on alternative options around the city.
