Ehhhhh. I was with 2 girl friends and i didn't wanna bring any girls over who would drink our mini bottle of vodka that they charged us $300 euros for

I want to study abroad but it's expensive as ****.


How do your professors there treat you & what are the classes like compared to in America? Harder, easier?

I did study abroad in Barcelona for a summer while in law school. I was actually out there when they won the world cup. Epic   I had a great time.

Did a study abroad in Valencia, Spain (about 3 hr train south) and loved it. Went to Barcelona for a weekend. Checked out Gaudi Park, the clubs that are basically on the beach and all that good stuff. I thought going up to Telefèric de Montjuïc was pretty cool cuz of the view. Really wish I could have made it to a soccer game. Enjoy it, I want to go back. I'd highly recommend traveling after especially since it's such a long trip from cali. It's a bummer its not prime season for Ibiza.

Only thing- sure you heard this many times, but watch for pickpockets. Bunch of girls I was with got their stuff stolen when they went swimming outside the club, but obviously they were being careless.

I got travel lined up right now starting this weekend. I'm pretty excited. I've tried to be as careful as possible. I keep my hands in my pockets in crowded areas.

Man any types of sweets I can get a hold of.
Hah I'm from the bay. It's never been hard to get a hold of but I do have some connects here. I haven't creeped on any girls and took pictures but dimes definitely aren't hard to come across just walking around. I fell in love with a girl yesterday when I walked past would've wifed her on spot.

I'm at a business school so it's a little different not having to take classes unrelated to my major for once. There typically isn't any homework here. They don't treat me any different since there are a lot of international kids in the school. The classes are longer here also (2-3 hours) but I don't mind it since there's little homework and I don't have work obligations. It isn't too hard. The other students make it sound like all you need is 50% to pass which I think is wild. I don't go to a major school though so things can be different at those.

Were they hyped? When I spoke to locals about their poor WC performance this past year they said they didn't care at all. They viewed it as a Spanish team and they identify as Catalan.

^The place went nuts.

Barcelona is beautiful. Make sure you check out all of those Gaudi Architecture examples from the museums and the houses. I miss going to the boqueria and stocking up on fruit and vegetables. Going to Las Ramblas was always fun too, always something going on. But if you wanna eat cheap, there are spots to eat authentic paella platters for 3 euros if you look right. Hit up the beach strip for Sangria Poles, it'll be like 25 euros but you can easily split it with 5 people and everyone will be tipsy.


If you havent already done so, check out the Picasso Museo. It's free on the first Sunday of each month. If not bring your student ID and they should give you a discount.
