Hi there again Velina
Forgot to mention - re surrounding little towns. The nearest town to the UAB is Cerdanyola - lots of students share flats there. Very pleasant place. Sabadell is also a possibility - quite a big town. There is direct transport to the campus from there. The FCG train I mentioned in my first post also stops right by the main square of the campus.

Hi Valerie,
Once again, thanks for your response. I have read for Gracia as well so sounds like a good place to investigate for possibilities
If anyone is renting a room or is looking for a roommate, I'd be happy if you write me.
I am open for questions and suggestions!
Que tengan un buen dia!

I think Eixample is a great option for you.... thats a very nice area..
you can check out the blog blog.barcelona-home.com if you want to know more about barcelona ! good luck
Yes, definitely. But bear in mind that the Eixample is quite extensive, and the closer you get to Provença station, the more expensive it tends to be - assuming you want to be within walking distance of the FCG station. The changeover with the metro at Provença/Diagonal is a huge mess at the moment.

Hi velina
UAB University isn't in Barcelona. Is about 20 miles. In a town called Bellaterra. I will advise you to look for something near the university.
Wow, what an open-ended question! Poble Nou is probably more affordable and authentic, but a longer Metro ride. If you look here, I'd suggest staying not far from a station. Gracia also is less touristy and has many housing options. Again, if you have to commute somewhere (university, etc.) living within a few blocks of the station will be more pleasant. Poble Nou has the added benefit of being nearer the beaches. (Not necessarily near; there is little affordable housing adjacent to the beachfront, but you can find things within a few blocks, which also puts you closer to the Metro.)
