For me, Barcelona has really been the perfect city to live in during my Master’s degree because it offers anything that one might need: great weather all year long allowing you to spend a lot of time outside after class.
This allowed me to grow my professional network because, as you might know, Barcelona is a European Hub for innovation which means you can meet a lot of professionals at one of the many networking events that take place all year long.
But also, Barcelona has been an amazing city to simply get inspiration: the city has strong cultural roots, amazing architecture, delicious food, and vibrant summers. At a period when you are finishing your studies, it is a great place if you need inspiration for your next big move.
I believe the weather, the culture, and the melting pot that you find here is an endless source of inspiration. Whatever your interest might be, you will most likely find a group of people who are doing something great with it. You meet so many people from all around the world that it feels you traveled to all those places.
I live in Eixample. I used to share a flat for a long part of my stay here, but then I moved into a place of my own once I knew I wanted to settle in the city. I can tell you, for having tried both alternatives (living in a shared flat and renting an apartment) that both options are great whether you are looking to meet new people and maximize your budget or find a place of your own, you will most likely have a wide range of options.
