ESEI is located in a calm area of Barcelona with easy transport links. ESEI is a business school so it does not have a big campus with a lot of facilities. However the staff worked hard to collaborate to with industry leaders which was useful to dive into the business life. Regarding accommodation, ESEI provided some options but there were not many available in my term but it's not a big deal to find an accommodation in Barcelona.
