It is possible, I have many friends paying between 300-400€/month (they are locals, and this certainly helps as many rooms you hear about them from mouth to mouth or on instagram)
Both languages are spoken and locals understand and speak both of them. People is used to change from one to the other according to the language spoken by the persone we are speaking to. When applying for jobs or internships, Spanish is an absolute must, specially for those ones offered to international students/workers. If you apply for a job/Internship in government departments, though, Catalan will be required.
I wouldn't have explained it better than @Lali did. Just a quick addition, which is that there are also some companies hiring only English speakers given how international Barcelona is. So even if you don't speak Spanish nor Catalan, you can still find jobs.
Hi, I personally pay around 50€/month for a private health insurance that covers for pretty much everything (although I have some special rates). I think that you can expect to pay anywhere from 45-70€/month but you should check with each insurer because they have different rates offering different levels of medical coverage. Here you have a few links with info on the topic: www.olelanguages.com/barcelona-medical-insurance.html studentcenter.iedbarcelona.org/en/formalities/healthcare/
Hi Robert! Gracias for such informative video! Can you suggest some website to look for accomodations in BCN? Or should an international student look for it physically when they are in BCN? I will be coming to Barcelona in the next January hopefully for my studies. And any area would you suggest to stay in BCN. Thanks again! Keep up the good work.
Hi, I would recommend that you try to find something online a few days before going to the city but that you actually go in person to check out the place. If it is just for 1 month maybe not, but if you are planing on staying there permanently, yes. On the websites as Lali said you can find them in the comment of anguluri kavya. I would not recommend that you stay in the Gothic quarter, Raval or Poblesec. The best areas are Eixample, Sants or Les Corts, anywhere else it is okay
Hi, Roberto. What a great video, I was just looking for the exact costs to live cause I think is one of the most important things before checking something else about a country. Although, I would like to ask you about the health insurance cause now I live in Portugal and I have a health insurance from here but I don’t know if I’m gonna need another one for Spain. If it doesn’t work in Spain please could you tell me the price for a health insurance there?
Hi :) Sorry for the delayed reply. Health insurances in Spain can range in costs from 30€ (if you take very basic plans which don't cover much) up to around 100€. For about 70€ you can already have a pretty good plan.
Hi! You’re very helpful. Thanks for sharing this info. I’m an incoming international student this August. I’m looking for a room /studio for rent in Eixample, Barcelona. May I ask you about the room with 300 to 350 euro that you rented? I hope you can guide. Thank you.
Hi, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately in my apartment there is currently no room available. If you scroll through the comments though you will find websites where you can look for rooms :)
Thanks Robert, your infos are really helpful. But, what about part-time jobs? I know Barcelona is the second biggest city in Spain which means job opportunities are higher, but how much can you earn from it and does it helps you to afford theses living expenses?
Unemployement rates are quite high in Spain at the moment and the tourism industry is trying to recover from the pandemic. Speaking Spanish and having some qualifications or specific skills will help a lot getting a good paid part time job.
Hi Ashraf, I think that @Lali already clarified it, but just to add a bit, from a part time job you cannot expect to earn a lot. Just think that what most people earn net working full time in Spain ranges from 1.100-1.500€/month (of course you can earn a lot more and also less). If you work part time (20h/week) you can expect to earn 50% of that or even a bit less (depending on the company). In terms of paying living expenses, it can help you, but it will be hard to cover them all just with a part time job.
Hi You can try these 4 websites as they are the most popular: www.idealista.com/alquiler-habitacion/barcelona-barcelona/ www.pisocompartido.com/habitaciones-barcelona/ badi.com/cities/es/alquilar-habitacion/barcelona www.fotocasa.es/es/compartir/pisos/barcelona-capital/todas-las-zonas/l
Hi @kavya I will be moving to Barcelona in Oct 2022 for my higher studies. When are you planning to move and may you please guide me for accommodation in a trustworthy student shared. apartments. Is it possible to connect with you from FB?
Hi, I will be living in Barcelona for 3 months but my university is in Mataro. Does the T-jove include the bus or train ticket to Mataro or it's only for Barcelona? Thank you :)
Hi Ana, yes, you can buy the T-Jove but you need to make sure that you buy the card for 3 Zones as Mataro is a bit far away from BCN, Here you can find the map with the tariffs: www.tmb.cat/es/tarifas-metro-bus-barcelona/sencillos-e-integrados/mapa-zonas The price for the T-jove of 3 zones is of 147,55 € (www.tmb.cat/es/tarifas-metro-bus-barcelona/sencillos-e-integrados/t-jove)
Hello Robert. Great video. Quick question: If I am exactly 25 years old , can I get The T-Jove ticket or not?Also is 700 euros a reasonable budget per month?
I just check the official web: www.atm.cat/web/en/discounted-fares.php The use of the T-jove transport card is upheld throughout the validity of the card, even if the user has turned 25 during such period, as long as documentation is provided as proof that the user was under age 25 when the card was purchased and at the time of its first use.
On the T-Jove ticket, @Lali already replied. With regard to the budget, I personally could live with that amount, I wouldn' be able to save much money, but I could live. I'd probably rent a room for 300-350€ month and then food and transport would probably get me slightly above the 500€ mark. Afterwards if you don't buy lots of extra things and keep your leisure expenses low, it shouldn't be a problem to stay within the budget.
Hi! Thank you for the video! I was wondering what the condition of the student dorms at the university of Barcelona is like? I’m planning on studying next year. Thank you again
I am traveling to barcelona after 2 days from UAE on student visa and i am kinda a nervous on where and how i ll stay and how i ll manage the budget cuz this will be my 1st experience studying abroad. Is there a language barrier like do i need to learn spainish to survive or english will be enough to settle there
Hey :) English should be enough in most cases for basic communication. For official things (registering your address...) then you might struggle a bit as not everyone speaks English fluently
hi. i am going to rent a house as i have immigrant issue but the government will pay the expenses. i want to know will they accept such these contract and what should i consider ? thanks if anyone do answer!!!
Hi, if they pay you back then I guess that as long as you have a valid rent contract then you should be fine. The safest way to go about this is to only rent an apartment that is rented through a real estate agency. You will have to pay the fee to the agency but at least you will make sure that everything is legally fine (and potentially also help you with getting the reimbursement if applicable)
One of the cheapest operators in Spain is Symio www.simyo.es/ . I like it because you can customize and pay for what you want. Otherwise there are others like Movistar, Vodafone or Orange. Probably the best of all is Movistar but it is usually also the most expensive. So maybe just check what the different ones offer, but you should be good with any of them (not much of a difference really)
Apartments just keep changing all the time (unless you are talking about staying in a students residence). For apartments/rooms the most popular websites to check them are: www.idealista.com/alquiler-habitacion/barcelona-barcelona/ www.pisocompartido.com/habitaciones-barcelona/ badi.com/cities/es/alquilar-habitacion/barcelona www.fotocasa.es/es/compartir/pisos/barcelona-capital/todas-las-zonas/l
It depends. You can choose when you buy a t-jove if you want it for 1 zone, 2, 3, 4... I leave here a link that can help you: www.tmb.cat/es/tarifas-metro-bus-barcelona/sencillos-e-integrados/t-jove To know the different zones, you can check this map: www.tmb.cat/es/tarifas-metro-bus-barcelona/sencillos-e-integrados/mapa-zonas
Depending on how many hours/week you work... I think it would help a lot but covering all of your expenses may be very difficult with a part time job....
Hi Robert, hope you are doing well. I'm beyond grateful for this informative video. I'll be going to Barcelona this year. Besides from that, seriously I couldn't stop looking at your teeth. you look so cute cause you have a bunny teeth 😊
Hi Fatima, unfortunately I cannot help you with that because I had never heard of such master before you mentioning it. Searching in google I haven't found anything. Only 1 master in the south of Spain, but not in Barcelona. www.educaweb.com/curso/master-in-international-agribusiness-management-almeria-361211/
Hey Robert thank you for this video , please im a student moving to barcelona in april from nigeria for my masters at esdi sabadell barcelona , im trying to get an apartment , but im seeing rooms in shared apartments for 500 euros upward and its pricey please is there any help you can render to help me find an apartment that is cheaper
Hi! If you go to live in sabadell (it is a city outside of Barcelona), you should be able to find rooms for 300-350€/month. Otherwise maybe you can rent something on airbnb while you search for a cheaper room (probably it is easier once you are there). On websites to check this if you check other comments in this video you will see the info :)
Unfortunately I have no experience with it. Can't help much. I see though that it is relatively new as it was only founded in 2014 from what I could read online. The best you can do to get a better idea is to research reviews online.
Just for being a student you don't get paid. If you work part time while studying you can expect to earn between 400-600€/month (in general terms) although it depends on the specific job you find and how many hours you work a week.

which language is majorly spoken in Barcelona? Catalan or Spanish? In terms of securing an internship or Job which language is given preference?
Both languages are spoken and locals understand and speak both of them. People is used to change from one to the other according to the language spoken by the persone we are speaking to.
