Gràcia and the Eixample are popular for their location and nightlife, Les Corts and Sarrià-Sant Gervasi are close to the main university campus on the Diagonal, and Sant Martí (Poblenou) suits campuses near the sea. Sants-Montjuïc and Horta-Guinardó are cheaper and well connected by metro.
Your passport or NIE, your admission or enrolment letter and, if you have one, proof of a grant or of funds. Some landlords ask for a guarantor, often a parent; have their details ready.
