Hello everyone,
I'm moving to Barcelona in April for a masters degree from EAE business university. Anyone knows if it's a good uni?
I also want to know how it's like to live there, are people friendly, how much does it cost to live there as a student(roughly), is it easy to find a job with the economic problem?
I am also starting to learn Spanish but I know they speak Catalan, so will Spanish do or are there issues concerning the language?
Any other advice will be appreciated 
Regards,
Ingie

Hi Ingie.. Spanish people are friendly. Its hard to find a job here these days because of the crisis. Living costs depend where you are planning to live. It ranges from 220 to 300 a month.

Hi Ingie!
Firstly, EAE is a good uni to improve your knowledge/skills. It's well-considered.
I think we are friendly but your opinion will depend on your experiences... 
Finding a job is difficult here, there are a big unemployment (officially 21-22%) but your language skills can help you.
About living here, I agree with alishaheen. It will depend on you are planning to live.
Regards,
Sergi
