Universitat de Barcelona (UB)

That it is quite difficult to meet spanish students

Very good, barcelona is a great place to be

The amount of trouble it takes to get a student residency card. No one tells you that you have to line up at 5am to 3pm a couple of times, before anyone even looks at your papers... It's rediculous!

I loved it because I met a lot of really nice people from many other countries and parts of spain, but the university itself is a far cry from any I've ever been to. I've studied at Univeristy of Salamanca, University of Toronto and York University and this is the worst organized univeristy with highly unfriendly staff. I think the international experience was good, but you can get that at any other foreign university. Better to go to University of Salamanca, if you want to study in Spain.

Perhaps I would have wished to know more about accomodation possibilities before going, but otherwise, organizing it on my own, helped me to learn a lot about life !

I wish i had known that my home university programme was quite different from the host university programme

Good university, poor administration
