mikaela Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'll be doing an 8 months internship in Barcelona and have to find my own accomodations. Any tips on how to proceed? Of course, as a student, my main concern is to find something affordable. Also, for those of you who have been/lived in Barcelona, recommandations on where to hang out are welcomed.

You should have seen the dance of joy I did around the office when I found out I was awarded the internship. I seem to recall running to my supervisor's office and jumping up and down as I was telling her the news. I hope you ge to go as well (could you work it in your studies?)

I can imagine...I would have done the exact same thing I am sure! My Honor Society got to go to Barcelona last Spring, along with other places in Spain, but I unfortunately already had too many credits to get to go. :x I'm hoping it will be the place I take my Honeymoon! I will just have to live vicariously through you until then though. :wink: Hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habibatbaba Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hi! What can anyone tell me about life for university students in Spain (everything from activities, city life, budgeting, etc.)? I'm moving there in September and I don't know what to expect! Any input or advice will be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varangian Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Barcelona is a beautiful city. It can be expensive, more expensive than almost anywhere else in Spain. I would recommend staying in a hostel until you find appropriate accommodation. Paying a week at a time for a bed in a hostel while you do your program/search for a place is the best way to search for rooms. I would suggest idealista.com. segundamando is also a great resource, and loquo.es is also good. Be very careful with your personal belongings - your wallet in particular. Spain and Barcelona in particular has a very high rate of pickpocket theft. Almost everyone I know there has been pickpocketed at least once, so watch your handbag, if you're a girl, always carry your purse in front, don't put anything valuable in front pockets and if you're a guy, keep your wallet in your side pockets not the back.
