🏠 Housing
Found my spot through a local agency. Place was dope — central and safe — but watch your phones 💀. The area has hella theft. It was like 700€ a month with 2 roomies. Only annoying thing: 40 mins by metro to get to class. Worth it for the city vibes tho.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Metro mission every day. It’s not terrible, but 40 mins gets old fast. Don’t live too far unless you love public transport podcasts 😂.
✈️ Travel Life
No idea where to go at first but ended up hitting the Irish pubs, Razzmatazz, and random beach towns. Pro tip: leave space in your schedule to travel. Plan around getting a couple extra days off each week 🛫.
🎉 Social Life
Bars, clubs, random meetups — you’ll be out a lot. Just don’t lose your phone (again, trust me 😅).
📚 Classes
Go for the easy wins: Digital Analytics and International Econ in the Digital Era. Light workload, good for your GPA and party life. 🦙 Other Just have your phone in your underwear drawer or something. Seriously.

🏠 Housing
Youniq Barcelona – 900-something €/month. Lemme tell you, the place is INSANE. Rooftop pool, cinema room, gym, the whole vibe was top tier 🔥. Only downside: far from the city center and you don’t get a private kitchen unless you're in a shared flat.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Not ideal tbh — the uni was pretty far. But you get used to the commute.
✈️ Travel Life
Costa Brava, Ibiza, the Canaries — all doable and so worth it. Just book in advance and watch out for apartment scams 👀.
🎉 Social Life
Easy 11/10. Everyone at the res was super friendly. The setup makes it so easy to meet people — you just go to the rooftop or gym and boom, new besties.
📚 Classes
Picked all the no-exam courses 😎. Mostly in entrepreneurship. Honestly? Genius move.
🦙 Other
The area wasn’t the safest but nothing crazy ever happened. Just don’t flash your stuff.
