UNIVERSITY RESIDENCE

  • For over 18 year-old students, we offer the opportunity to stay in a local university dormitory (restrictions apply)

 

HOME RULES AND LOGISTICS (under 18)

  • Normally, the families are within 20-30 minutes of the school by metro or by foot (which, for a metropolitan area like Barcelona during morning rush hour, is quite convenient)
  • Families don’t always have free broad band Internet access. Internet is provided at the school, however
  • There is a common curfew for all participants so that there is no discrimination about “staying out at night” (Sunday PM – Thursday PM at 22:30 / Friday PM – Saturday PM 00:00 unless permission is granted)
  • Laundry service is provided, but as there can be water restrictions during the summer, laundry is not done on a daily basis
  • Although all rooms are cleaned daily, students are encouraged to be ambassadors of good manners and respect to the Spanish school and the host family

 

FOOD

  • Breakfast usually includes cereal, yogurt, fruit juice, fruit, bread or croissant and jam, cheese or slices of cold ham, with milk, tea or coffee. Spanish breakfasts do not offer hot dishes such as pancakes, sausages, fried eggs and potatoes. Special meal preferences are available but this must be arranged prior to departure
  • Supper is usually served around 21.00 and is quite abundant, consisting of two dishes and a dessert. The Mediterranean diet is rich and varied (high in vegetables, fish, rice, pasta, meat and fruits). Juices and soft drinks are included
  • Lunch: Barcelona has everything from fast-food (McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut and KFC) to the excellent typical “menu of the day”, which offers two dishes, beverage and dessert for approximately 8-10 euros a day. Catalan, Chinese, Japanese, Lebanese, Egyptian and Spanish restaurants abound. Of course, there is always the school cafeteria, which is the most reasonable choice in terms of price, quality and logistics
