The University of Barcelona: A Guide for International Students

Your guide to the University of Barcelona: international student programmes, fees, language, and the best student accommodation in Barcelona.

When international students decide to study abroad, they usually start by choosing the country and then the city. Selecting the right city is an important decision because it will shape your academic experience, lifestyle, and career opportunities. The student must choose a city based on the best universities, student life, cost of living, and the political environment. This raises an important question: why do international students choose German cities for their studies? This guide will provide you with information to help you identify the best student cities in <a href="https://www.casita.com/student-accommodation/germany" style="">Germany </a>and discuss the biggest comparison: Munich vs Berlin for students and other comparisons. <img src="https://www.casita.com/images/files/public/07062026095542AM-Untitled-3-copy-03.jpg" style="width: 650px; z-index: 3; position: relative; overflow: auto; cursor: pointer; margin: auto; display: block; float: none; vertical-align: top;" fr-original-style="width: 650px;" fr-original-class="fr-dib"> <h2 dir="ltr" style="font-weight: normal;" fr-original-style="font-weight: normal;">Top Cities in Germany for International Students</h2><h3 dir="ltr" style="font-weight: normal;" fr-original-style="font-weight: normal;">Berlin</h3><a href="https://www.casita.com/student-accommodation/germany/berlin">Berlin</a> ranks seventh among the best student cities in Germany according to the <a href="https://www.topuniversities.com/city-rankings" rel="nofollow">QS Best Student Cities 2026</a>. As Germany's capital, it is recognised as one of Europe's leading student destinations. This reputation stems from its combination of high-quality education, affordability, a vibrant cultural scene, and part-time job opportunities.  <h4 dir="ltr" style="">Best Universities in Berlin</h4>Berlin hosts world-class institutions offering programmes in business, technology, the arts, and the sciences. It is home to three universities that are recognised in the <a href="https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings-articles/qs-best-student-cities/berlin" rel="nofollow" style="">QS World University Rankings</a>:  <a href="https://www.casita.com/student-accommodation/germany/berlin/free-university-of-berlin" style="">Free University of Berlin</a>, <a href="https://www.casita.com/student-accommodation/germany/berlin/humboldt-university-of-berlin" style="">Humboldt University of Berlin</a>, and the <a href="https://www.casita.com/student-accommodation/germany/berlin/technical-university-of-berlin" style="">Technical University of Berlin</a>.  If you find learning the German language to be quite challenging, don’t worry. Most German universities offer courses in both English and German, allowing international students to study comfortably. You can choose from many programmes available at various universities. <h4 dir="ltr" style="">Student Life and Culture</h4>Student life in Berlin is vibrant and diverse, with over 200,000 students benefiting from tuition-free public universities.

The sunniest city in Australia comes with tranquil yet vibrant beaches and is the capital of Western Australia. Perth sits where the Swan River meets the southwest coast. Each and every city is unique in its own way and the city's peculiarity lies in these distinct Perth facts.1- The closest Australian city to Perth is 2,200kms away, which means that Singapore is closer to Perth than Australia’s own capital Canberra, and that’s why Perth is well-known for being the most isolated city in the world. Despite that, it has been ranked as the 7th most liveable city in the world in 2016. The Perth to Singapore air route is the 4th busiest international route in Australia.2- Mount Augustus, the largest rock in the world, is 852 km north of Perth. It is 8km long and 3km wide covering 4,795 hectares. It is composed of multiple rock types - that is why some scientists do not agree on calling it a large rock, and the granite formation is believed to be 1,750 million years old.3- Perth city is the sunniest! It has 8 hours of sunshine every day all year-round. It is also the third windiest city in the world, making sailing and kite surfing exceptionally popular. The sunset in Perth is beautiful!4- Perth also houses the oldest operating mint in Australia. The Perth Mint was established in 1899 and 120,000 visitors come each year to watch molten gold being poured into bars and see how gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins in Perth are made.5- Due to the fact that while the astronaut John Glenn was orbiting above in 1962 he could identify Perth, because everyone has their lights on, the city was later on known as the 'City of Light.'6- Perth has over 12,500km of coastline and it has the longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere. Busselton is 1.8km long.7- Five thousand years ago you could have travelled from Perth to Rottnest Island on foot because it was attached to the mainland; however, now you have to take a Rottnest ferry to the island. The island was originally named ‘Rotte Nest,’ meaning ‘rat nest’ in Dutch because the early Dutch explorers thought the quokkas inhabiting the island at the time were rats.8- The Kalgoorlie Mine, the world’s largest producer of gold; the Argyle Mine, the world’s largest producer of diamonds; and the Broome, the world largest producer of pearls, are all sitting in Perth.9- The largest inner-city park in the world is situated in Perth. Kings Park, Western Australia, is even bigger than New York's Central Park. This 1,003-acre park homes over 324 native plant varieties, 215 known indigenous fungi species and 80 bird species. You will also enjoy picturesque views of the Swan River and Darling Range at Kings Park, Perth.10- The oldest international arts festival in the entire southern hemisphere is in Perth: The annual<a href="https://www.perthfestival.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Perth International Art Festival.</a> It usually takes place in February and March.

10 Riveting Facts You Did Not Know about Perth

The sunniest city in Australia comes with tranquil yet vibrant beaches and is the capital of Western Australia.

Most international, and even local, students prefer to have a job while studying, believing that it helps to increase their income while providing invaluable work experience that could boost future promising career prospects. It mainly depends on which country you are studying and your immigration status. You are permitted to work and study simultaneously if your university or college is listed on the official UKVI Sponsor list and the list of ‘recognized bodies’. You will also need to check on your university’s website the working hours that you are allowed to work, as it differs from one university/college to another.<h3>Why?</h3>Putting financial benefits aside, there are various benefits to working as a student. Working while studying abroad improves your resilience, time management skills and your interpersonal ones. To succeed, you must implement routines and plan each day in advance. Being committed to a job from a young age enhances your sense of responsibility and punctuality, as well as your teamwork and problem-solving skills. Being exposed to the commercial work environment will give you a hint of what is on in the market world, which will give you enough self-confidence to be initiative. On a personal level, working as an international student will keep your mind occupied in your free time, especially if it is a holiday and you cannot afford going home for the holidays.<h3>How?</h3>Finding a job in a full-of-technology world is seamless. You can check for vacant full-time positions, part-time jobs and online jobs for students anytime on the National Careers Service or Prospects' database of graduate-level internships and jobs, Graduate Talent Pool, The Careers Group, Employment 4 Students, and StudentJob. You can also use the University’s job shop or the Students’Unions ad hoc employment, which will regularly keep you informed of the latest vacancies through newsletter or mailing.<h3>What?</h3>This question has more implied significance than it looks; choosing a field to start working at, even if it is away from what you are currently studying, is a bit challenging to some students, especially those who did not yet decide on their career plan. Even students who already know what they would prefer to work as in the future will still have a sense of excitement to try working in different fields. In other words, experiencing and experimenting with different job roles at a young age will give students profound insight into what do they want to do in the future. Even if you are an engineering student, for example, it is not a waste to try tutoring younger people, whether it is engineering-related or not.Balancing between learning and working is difficult and takes a set of essential skills to achieve that balance. But in order to keep things steady and at its natural pace, you need to be selective and not get a toilsome and/or a back-breaking job. Prioritizing multiple studying and working tasks is one of the key actions that you will have to face and adapt to. As a working student, having an honest conversation with your employer to arrange your working hours and exams schedules along with your studying timetables will give you a realistic view of what you will go through.Correspondingly, the pitfalls of working along with studying should be considered. Overworking could drive some students into feelings of stress and exhaustion, which is never healthy. Weigh all your options and choices before making an ultimate decision either way. Choosing not to work as a student is neither the end of the world nor means that you are a failure; it simply means that you know yourself enough to understand that work might drain your energy, which will finally make it harder for you to study, and to be honest, as a student, studying is your priority. Waiting to start your career journey as a fresh graduate after graduation will provide you with an adequate amount of time to think thoroughly about your future career preferences, as some students might start working in a field that they, later on, realize they do not actually like and opt for shifting their careers rather than working at the field that they are passionate about.

London’s Christmas Events and Venues in December

In the whole wide world, nothing beats the Christmas season in London; from the Christmas lights, ice skating and skylight, to fireworks, and sightseeing.

Being fit or losing weight in winter is sometimes tiresome. In winter, we usually get lost in the fact that cold boosts our metabolism and the contrary that we should eat more to keep our bodies warm. Hitting the gymnasium is an option; however, some students are too busy to go there on a regular basis. The good news is, Casita student accommodations are purposely built to meet students’ needs, health and fitness included. So in order to fight winter’s sluggishness and sloth, here are 7 tricks to boost your metabolism and stay fit:1. Use the free facilities available at your student accommodation wisely. If there is a tennis table, play that with your flatmates. If there is an <a href="https://www.casita.com/student-accommodation/493-fraser-studios-aberdeen-uk">on-site gym</a>, hit it 3 times per week and it will be awesome if you have a workout partner to motivate each other. If there is no gym in your student accommodation, try to find a gym that you can pay-as-you-go to avoid paying for a membership that you are not going to fully use.2. Workout in your room if you are not a big fan of excising within a group. Surf the internet and look up some beneficial workout plans and free yoga classes. Workout routines are tricky, so you have to make sure you are doing what is right for your goals. For example, if you are sweating to lose weight, the workout routine you should conduct is different from someone who wants to increase his/her body’s stamina and endurance.3. When in doubt, pedal it out. Cycling is one of the most effective activities boosting fitness, overall health and heart and lungs functions. Needless to say how it strengthens your muscles and the whole body’s endurance. You do not have to worry about storing your bike; just make sure that the student accommodation you are staying in has <a href="https://www.casita.com/student-accommodation/524-trinity-student-village-preston-uk">secure bike storage on-site</a>.4. If cycling is not your thing, walk the stress out of your head. Walking and roaming around neighbourhoods is one of the most effective ways to boost your creativity, make you less stressful, and on top, make you healthier. Better go with a friend if it is after dark; the company will motivate both of you and keep you safe. Considering that winter is here, you can look for and participate in various winter activities, like skiing and snowshoeing. The point is to keep your body active.<img src="https://www.casita.com/images/files/public/21122018033859PM-Stay%20Fit%20at%20your%20student%20dorm.jpg" style="width: 341px; z-index: 3; position: relative; overflow: auto; cursor: pointer; margin: 5px auto 5px 0px; display: block; float: none; vertical-align: top; left: 5px;" alt="Girl working out to stay fit" fr-original-style="width: 341px;" fr-original-class="fr-dib fr-fil">5. What if you are still unmotivated? Good music will motivate you to start your workout. Instead of listening to music while studying, schedule the music with your workout to connect it to something that you already love doing. Music will help you increase your workout pace, elevate your mood and act as a good distraction.6. Eat right, of course. Reduce your alcoholic intake and eat more vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, milk and food rich in Omega 3. To boost your metabolism, eat 5 small meals instead of two or three large ones and make sure that your breakfast ones are larger than the ones you eat later in the day. This will keep your body nourished and will speed up your metabolism, as well as helping you avoid entering starvation mode. Keeping your body well-hydrated and drinking a lot of water will spike your metabolic rate too and will improve your performance during your workout, so drink a lot of water throughout the day and 30 minutes before starting your exercise.  7. Be consist and mindful of your mood and mental health. In other words, create a workout schedule and follow it. Focus on how do you feel after your workout and listen to what your brain tells you to alter your negative automatic thoughts into positive ones. It is good if you caught yourself feeling guilty when you skip a workout or two; this means it started to be a consistent habit.

7 Tricks to Fight Winter Sluggishness and Stay Fit

Casita student accommodation are purposely built to meet students’ needs, health and fitness included.

On September 24, 1869, rebel speculators Jay Gould and Jim Fisk deliberately attempted to control the nation’s gold market; they created a network of corruption and when the conspiracy was finally unravelled it became known as the “Black Friday”. In the 19th century, the day after Thanksgiving was the unofficial start of the Christmas season. The last Thursday in November was designated by President Lincoln as the Thanksgiving Holiday. Retailers began to start their discounts at this time of the year so they can turn a profit.Accounting-wise, losing money is called being “in the red” because accountants use red ink to show negative figures/losses. Positive amounts, on the other hand, were usually written in black ink, so the term “in the black” means that there are profits. As a result, the Friday after Thanksgiving’s Thursday is called the Black Friday because retailers try to make money before the year ends. In other words, they want to turn their red ink into black. Online retailers, in accordance, slash their prices on the Monday after Thanksgiving just like what the traditional shops do on Black Friday, and it’s called the Cyber Monday.Lately, the Black Friday became an important date in the British shopping calendar, as it is viewed as the best opportunity to buy Christmas gifts, gaming consoles and gadgets on discounts. This year’s day of deals falls on Friday the 24th of November. Cyber Monday- Black Friday’s digital version- will be on Monday 27th of November. International students use this big day to buy their loved ones back home UK souvenirs and gifts. The whole UK invests in buying the things they need when the discounts hit the British market.Despite the fact that these holidays are a one-day one, many shops launch their deals before the big day and extend the discounts for a few more days. Amazon, the gigantic online seller, has already started releasing its Black Friday offers and deals.How to shop smart on the big day?<ol><li>Research before heading to any shop/store, and make sure that you have reviewed the desired item on different websites and compared the prices thoroughly to get the best deal there is.</li><li>Set a budget for the items you would like to buy, and to do this the right way, list these items after researching the best discounts on them. Have a figure in mind you are willing to spend and fit your items into your budget.</li><li>Consider your paying options and do not put yourself in debt. Some items are better paid by the credit card to provide you with an extra layer of protection, but keep yourself guarded against falling for future debts, no matter how the discounts are seductive.</li><li>Use vouchers to cut high delivery fees when ordering a cheap item online. Vouchers can bring the cost of your shopping basket down further.</li><li>Avoid queues and mid-aisle hassles in shops and consider online shopping when possible.</li><li>Groups get better deals, so do not go alone. Instead, arrange to go on an errand with the friends living in the student accommodation as you are.</li></ol>But ………. Which shops offer deals during Black Friday?The following retailers have announced their participation in the shopping festivity:<ul><li>Argos</li><li>ASOS</li><li>Boots</li><li>B&amp;Q</li><li>Mothercare</li><li>Currys</li><li>Samsung</li><li>Microsoft</li><li>Amazon</li><li>Acer</li><li>eBay</li><li>Reebok Store</li><li>Adidas</li><li>Nike</li><li>Groupon</li><li>La Redoute</li><li>Very</li><li>New Look</li><li>Zalando</li></ul>What time does it kick off?If you are an online shopper, expect most of the bargains to appear at midnight, so be a night-owl shopper and surf the internet. Further, the UK’s high street retailers will open at 6 am to unveil their discounted products. But remember what was mentioned earlier: retailers like Amazon, Argos and Currys will have deals throughout November so keep an eye on them.
