28-02-2019

Barcelona offers countless places and plans to enjoy with friends, so take advantage of this reading to discover those places where you can meet other newly arrived students, and with whom you can enjoy the city, practice your favorite sport, enjoy a sunset on the beach or go dancing to the best clubs in the city.

The first place you can meet other foreign students in Barcelona is in our student residence, where you will feel at home. It's true that you don't always connect with them the first time, and you need to meet other students who are more akin to you, to share those hobbies or sports that you love so much.

If you want to study and work in Barcelona at the same time, take advantage of the hours at work to meet others who, like you, have just arrived and are waiting for someone to offer them a beer at the end of the working day. Take the initiative and propose it!

Practice sport in a group, look for those places in Barcelona to practice your favourite sport in a group, there are many groups of runners, skating schools with regular meetings to get to know the city on wheels, or, go to the beach to practice surfing or beach volleyball, join the groups that practice these outdoor sports every day.

The links created on the stages between those who decide to take the plunge into the performing arts are wonderful! You can join a theatre group to take away the shame and the complexes. In Barcelona's civic centres there are often amateur theatre groups of various levels - get out your most dramatic or comical side to meet other foreign students!

Language Exchange: There are meetings of foreign students in Barcelona to exchange languages and talk to interesting people while you meet them.

You can choose to spend the weekends watching the full season of your favourite series in your student residence in Barcelona or choose one of the plans we have proposed and enjoy Barcelona! You choose!
