Student dorms

EU Barcelona has partnerships with 12 student residences in various parts of the city. The dorms are located in different districts, ranging from a five-minute walk from EU Barcelona to 30 minutes via public transport. Aside from this, there are also many privately run student dorms in Barcelona that offer exceptional service.

Private apartments

Most apartments are rented through an agency. However renting directly from the owner generally saves tenants a lot of money in agency fees, which are usually one month’s rent in addition to other deposits and commissions. You can contact rental agencies directly or visit websites which post availabilities such as idealista.com or enalquiler.com, among many others.

Apartment-sharing

Sharing an apartment is a popular concept in Spain and a lot cheaper than living on your own. Shared housing is a flexible option and, with international roommates, you will be able to learn other languages. But you must be willing to compromise.

A major economic power in Spain, Barcelona prides itself on a collection of innovative entrepreneurs and growing business industries. With a very reasonable cost of living and endless opportunities to play sports and socialize, Barcelona is the perfect location for your international business education.

With the city and beach at its doorstep and many flourishing businesses, Barcelona has rapidly become a center for young, creative talent, with hundreds of startups and entrepreneurs embarking on business ventures here. Home to FC Barcelona and acclaimed artists such as Salvador Dalí and Antoni Gaudí, the city has made a name for itself as the cosmopolitan capital of the Mediterranean coast.

A global city with a local identity, Spanish and Catalan influences can be seen at every turn. While the city celebrates its traditional ties, it also welcomes new ideas with open arms. Barcelona is one of the world’s most popular conference cities, hosting renowned events such as the MWC (Mobile World Congress), which attracts exhibitors from more than 200 countries.

While your courses will require a great deal of dedication, you should take time to explore this wonderful city. We encourage you to take advantage of the numerous resources available locally and on our social media pages, to familiarize yourself with Barcelona. We’re sure you will feel at home in no time at all. The EU Barcelona experience will immerse you in this vibrant, innovative city, renowned for its dedication to technology and entrepreneurship
