Forget the tourist clichรฉs and overpriced sangria. This is a place where rooftop parties bleed into sunrise beach dips, where the streets pulse with energy 7 nights a week, and where โ€œstudyingโ€ often means recovering from your last night out.

๐Ÿ  Housing

Found my spot through a local agency. Place was dope โ€” central and safe โ€” but watch your phones ๐Ÿ’€. The area has hella theft. It was like 700โ‚ฌ a month with 2 roomies. Only annoying thing: 40 mins by metro to get to class. Worth it for the city vibes tho.

๐Ÿš— Getting to Campus

Metro mission every day. Itโ€™s not terrible, but 40 mins gets old fast. Donโ€™t live too far unless you love public transport podcasts ๐Ÿ˜‚.

โœˆ๏ธ 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 ๐Ÿ›ซ.

๐ŸŽ‰ Social Life

Bars, clubs, random meetups โ€” youโ€™ll be out a lot. Just donโ€™t lose your phone (again, trust me ๐Ÿ˜…).

๐Ÿ“š Classes

Go for the easy wins: Digital Analytics and International Econ in the Digital Era. Light workload, good for your GPA and party life. ๐Ÿฆ™ Other Just have your phone in your underwear drawer or something. Seriously.

๐Ÿ  Housing

Youniq Barcelona โ€“ 900-something โ‚ฌ/month. Lemme tell you, the place is INSANE. Rooftop pool, cinema room, gym, the whole vibe was top tier ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Only downside: far from the city center and you donโ€™t get a private kitchen unless you're in a shared flat.

๐Ÿš— Getting to Campus

Not ideal tbh โ€” the uni was pretty far. But you get used to the commute.

โœˆ๏ธ Travel Life

Costa Brava, Ibiza, the Canaries โ€” all doable and so worth it. Just book in advance and watch out for apartment scams ๐Ÿ‘€.

๐ŸŽ‰ Social Life

Easy 11/10. Everyone at the res was super friendly. The setup makes it so easy to meet people โ€” you just go to the rooftop or gym and boom, new besties.

๐Ÿ“š Classes

Picked all the no-exam courses ๐Ÿ˜Ž. Mostly in entrepreneurship. Honestly? Genius move.

๐Ÿฆ™ Other

The area wasnโ€™t the safest but nothing crazy ever happened. Just donโ€™t flash your stuff.

๐Ÿ  Housing

Rented through Spotahome. Pricey (1390โ‚ฌ!!) but location slapped โ€” 10 mins from the beach, party area nearby, and a solid apartment. All online, no stress with landlords.

๐Ÿš—Getting to Campus

40 mins on public transport. Sucks but itโ€™s manageable. Living by the beach was 100% worth it ๐ŸŒŠ.

โœˆ๏ธ Travel Life

Palma, Ibiza... all the beachy, party-friendly islands. Flights are dirt cheap if you book early.

๐ŸŽ‰ Social Life

Tons of stuff going on. Beach by day, clubs at night. Youโ€™ll never be bored unless you try to be.

๐Ÿ“š Classes

Digital Marketing, SAP (super easy), Intro to Finance โ€” solid mix. But avoid Innovation and Management Tech. Boring and hard. ๐Ÿฆ™ Other The beach is life. Seriously.

๐Ÿ  Housing

Airbnb flat, 800โ‚ฌ/month. Didnโ€™t do a coliving thing but honestly most people did, and itโ€™s def the move if you wanna meet people and save cash. I stayed near Gracia metro โ€” perfect mix of chill, safe, and well-placed. Avoid Hospitalet and El Raval, sketchy and far ๐Ÿ˜ฌ.

๐Ÿš— Getting to Campus

Metro life, but totally fine. I was in a good spot so nothing crazy.

โœˆ๏ธ Travel Life

Flights, trains, buses โ€” all fair game. I flew from Paris but lots of peeps took buses from the south. Cheap and works great.

๐ŸŽ‰ Social Life

170 exchange students, wild integration week, ESN parties โ€” no excuse to stay in. Everyone's out every week.

๐Ÿ“š Classes

You get 5 classes (4h/week). Recommend: Digital Marketing, International Marketing, and Intro to Corporate Finance. Financial Markets = pain, Strategic Management was cool but weirdly empty.

๐Ÿฆ™ Other

You can change your classes on the first day, so no stress. Also: ESN is awesome. Download their app, follow the IG โ€” they organize everything ๐ŸŽ‰.

๐Ÿ  Housing

Found mine online. Big flat, 600โ‚ฌ/month, 4 roomies. Was well located, not too pricey. Honestly? A win.

๐Ÿš— Getting to Campus

Didnโ€™t complain. Pretty simple commute. Nothing major to report.

โœˆ๏ธ Travel Life

Costa Brava, Lisbon โ€” great vibes. Quick trips that were worth every penny.

๐ŸŽ‰ Social Life

Not too detailed but sounds like the usual Erasmus life โ€” meet people, go out, repeat ๐Ÿ”.

๐Ÿ“š Classes

International Marketing and Strategic Management = highly recommend.

๐Ÿฆ™ Other

Be ready for flaky landlords and some fake listings.
