Student life
Living in Barcelona as a medical student
UIC Barcelona requires a reservation deposit equal to 20% of first-year tuition to secure an offered place. Barcelona is one of Europe's most popular student cities (a large international population, extensive public transport, a Mediterranean coastline), but also one of Spain's more expensive, particularly for housing near the centre.
