Hi! Im new to the site and THANK GOD I found it :) I know there are similar posts about this so sorry to bring it up again, but I couldn't exactly find answer. I live in florida and am moving in fall to start masters at UAB (or Ub if I get accepted). What areas of Barcelona should I look for for shared apartments not too far from either school? I read UAB is 20 km away from barcelona so I dont want a super long commute, but Id also like to live in a safe, not ridiculously expensive place thats kind of eclectic and trendy (but not to the point of being obnoxious) and with a pretty good student atmosphere. Thanks for any help you can give me on this!
