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.

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.

The area wasn’t the safest but nothing crazy ever happened. Just don’t flash your stuff.

Rented through Spotahome. Pricey (1390€!!) but location slapped — 10 mins from the beach, party area nearby, and a solid apartment. All online, no stress with landlords.
🚗Getting to Campus
40 mins on public transport. Sucks but it’s manageable. Living by the beach was 100% worth it 🌊.
✈️ Travel Life
Palma, Ibiza... all the beachy, party-friendly islands. Flights are dirt cheap if you book early.
🎉 Social Life
Tons of stuff going on. Beach by day, clubs at night. You’ll never be bored unless you try to be.
📚 Classes
Digital Marketing, SAP (super easy), Intro to Finance — solid mix. But avoid Innovation and Management Tech. Boring and hard. 🦙 Other The beach is life. Seriously.

Airbnb flat, 800€/month. Didn’t do a coliving thing but honestly most people did, and it’s def the move if you wanna meet people and save cash. I stayed near Gracia metro — perfect mix of chill, safe, and well-placed. Avoid Hospitalet and El Raval, sketchy and far 😬.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Metro life, but totally fine. I was in a good spot so nothing crazy.
✈️ Travel Life
Flights, trains, buses — all fair game. I flew from Paris but lots of peeps took buses from the south. Cheap and works great.
🎉 Social Life
170 exchange students, wild integration week, ESN parties — no excuse to stay in. Everyone's out every week.
📚 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.
🦙 Other
You can change your classes on the first day, so no stress. Also: ESN is awesome. Download their app, follow the IG — they organize everything 🎉.

Found mine online. Big flat, 600€/month, 4 roomies. Was well located, not too pricey. Honestly? A win.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Didn’t complain. Pretty simple commute. Nothing major to report.
✈️ Travel Life
Costa Brava, Lisbon — great vibes. Quick trips that were worth every penny.
🎉 Social Life
Not too detailed but sounds like the usual Erasmus life — meet people, go out, repeat 🔁.
📚 Classes
International Marketing and Strategic Management = highly recommend.
🦙 Other
Be ready for flaky landlords and some fake listings.
