about university
What made your university special? What were the facilities where you studied and the university equipment like?
Nijak znacne se nelisila od UK, snad jen architektonicky byla o neco modernejsi, ale stare budovy na Albertove maji preci jen vetsi kouzlo. Fanousci fotbalu oceni vyhled na Camp Nou, ti s temnejsi mysli zase na mistni hrbitov. Behem sveho pobytu jsem nic opravdu vyjmecneho nezaznamenal, snad jen koncentrace divokych kocek a lehkych dam byla v okoli moji fakulty opravdu nevidana.
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about your "adoptive" university? What made it special? What were the premises where you studied and the university facilities like?
V porovnani se studiam na MFF byl pristup ke studentum opravdu nenarocny a pripominal spise stredni skolu. Vedeni kurzu je velmi podobne - nepovinne prednasky trvajici 1.5 h, povinna cviceni, prubezne a zaverecne zkouseni, samostatne/skupinove projekty. Ocenil jsem, ze pristup k domacim a zahranicnim studentum je stejny, tedy ani jedna skupina neuziva zvlastnich vyhod.
What is student life like at university?
Je mozne, ze studentsky zivot je zajimavy a univerzita poradna pro studenty mnoho radovanek. Avsak o tom ja niceho nevim, neb jsem se spoluzaku velmi stranil a na skolnich pozemcich travil tak malo casu, jak jen to bylo mozne. Katalanskou kulturu jsem radeji poznaval na vlastni pest.
Did you study in English or in the language of the host country? What language requirements does the university have?
Vzhledem k tomu, ze jsem neumel ani slovo katalansky ci spanelsky, jsem zvolil moznost vyuky v anglictine. Ta je vsak (nebo alespon byla) velmi omezena. V nabidce byly na moji fakulte prave 3 predmety v anglictine a presne tolik jsem jich potreboval ke splneni naroku pro ziskani prispevku, jake nevidane stesti. Uroven anglictiny vsak obecne byla pomerne nevalna. Pokud by clovek chtel navstevovat univerzitu v jine, mene kosmopolitni, casti Spaneska, s anglictinou by si vystacil jen tezko.
about the city
What was your impression of the city? How would you describe it? What is interesting to see here?
Rusne, kosmopolitni, uspechane, plne aut, vice lidi nez v Praze na radove mensim prostoru, more, architektura, zklamani z mistnich kulturnich instituci, demostrace kvuli samostatnosti, vyborna pekarna na kazdem rohu, az moc turistu, bez kola sem nejezdi, kvalitni techno scena, priserne horko, prijemny prosinec, zive ulice,... objevuj!
about finances
In your experience, how far does the scholarship go? What percentage of your expenses did it cover? What is your opinion on prices in the country in general?
Stipendium mi v dobe studijniho pobytu pokrylo najem, vstup na lezeckou stenu a drobnou svacinu. Bez financni podpory rodicu bych se rozhodne neobesel. Ceny spotrebniho zbozi nejsou nijak premrstene, avsak najmy jsou v Barcelone opravdu velmi nepratelske k vasi penezence.
Please advise your classmates on how to save money—Where to shop? What services can be used to save money?
Kupujte v pekarnach bagety vecer se slevou, chodte do lidlu, aldi a mercadony, jezdete na kole a kaslete na mhd, nepijte (moc) alkohol .

about accommodation
What type of accommodation did you choose? Would you recommend it to others? If not, what type of accommodation do you think is best based on your experience (dormitory, private apartment, private dormitory, shared room, etc.)?
Kolejemi univerzita nedisponovala a tak jsem zvolil spolubydleni. Najit si pokoj nebylo tak jednoduche, jak jsme si myslel, ale nakonec se mi celkem zadarilo. Sdilel jsem byt s mladym katalancem a italem. K dispozici jsem mel vlastni kobku, tedy pokoj, o rozloze zhruba 1.5x2.5m, ale stacilo to, clovek toho opravdu mnoho nepotrebuje.
about experiences
Did you use Erasmus stay to travel around your country/Europe? What are your best travel experiences? What would you not recommend?
Mel jsem s sebou vlastni auto a kolo, tuto kombinaci vrele doporucuji. Kolo jsem pouzival k doprave po meste, autem jsem zase vyrazel do skal.
Language and culture: what cultural differences did you notice? How did you cope with the national language? Was it also the language of your studies? Do you feel that your language skills improved during your stay?
Je to tam uplne jiny svet. V anglictine me pobyt urcite neposunul, ale pochytil jsem par katalanskych a spanelskych slovicek
final rating
Why here? What makes this location special? Why would you send your friends to your country/city?
Je tam prijemne pocasi. Nejsou tam vsichni tak upjati, jako nekde na severu nebo v nemecku atp., je to porad trochu divocina. A hlavne, da se tam celou zimu lezt na jednech z nejlepsich skal na planete.
live-saving tips
If I went again, I would definitely remember to pack...
Auto, Kolo, lezecke a campingove vybaveni.
Before leaving, I would like to know that...
To bude pecka!
What surprised me most was that...
Byla skola tak moc nenarocna.
The hardest thing for me was...
