Intern in Barcelona offers two types of housing: an apartment shared with other students or a local home stay.
The apartments are located off-campus in the city of Barcelona, just a 25-minute commute to classes. They are fully furnished apartments with a shared living room, a well-equipped kitchen, and bathrooms. Two students will share a room and there will be up to six students in each apartment. Due to the central location of the apartments within the city, students will have the opportunity to experience life living in Barcelona. They will be near shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, museums, and will have the chance to learn more about the culture through the people they meet and the roommates they will live with. What more could you ask for?
Home stays are perfect options for students interested in immersion into the Spanish culture. Two students will share a bedroom that is furnished with linens, and there is a shared bathroom with a toilet and bathing area. Students will have access to a communal living space or a kitchen with a table and chairs. Laundry service is included each week and the host family will provide students with breakfast and dinner. This is an opportunity for students to learn more about the people and the culture that Barcelona offers, which can only enhance your study abroad experience!
*Please keep in mind that home-stays in Spain generally consist of a room rented privately, and you may be living not with a traditional nuclear family but with an older woman or a young professional.
