comrades))))) it will be very nice of u to give me some answers) thnx alot)

from what I've heard on these boards, EADA is the third best MBA in Barcelona, behind ESADE and IESE

At least, according to rankings and accrediation.

To find which you like the best, I'd visit all three!

I personally like the location of EADA -- right in the city center -- and the "residential training center" out in the country sounds interesting...

Both IESE and ESADE appear to be on the edge of town... see:

Update: After much reading and looking at maps and things I learned that IESE and ESADE are both in a university district that is within the suburb of Pedrables. It's a short train ride from Barcelona's city center and probably an equally nice place to be!

Thanks Sally, very useful indeed!
