Personal comments
In the beginning it was very hard, as the Spanish in general don't speak any English. But this is a good stimulus to learn the language. I also had the luck to live with Spanish girls. So in a short time I learned a lot of Spanish. Unfortunately didn't have time to learn any Catalan.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
Because this way you get to taste from the real life in this country, especially if you live with local people. You're independent and feel more like you're actually living there.

We were basically instructed to look for housing ourselves. So we never got help from the university.
