    Pompeu Fabra University is a public university in Barcelona, Spain. It was created by the Autonomous Government of Catalonia in 1990, and was named after the linguist Pompeu Fabra, an expert on the Catalan language.
    The UPF campus is publicly accessable and worth a visit. Situated in the Vila Olímpica neighbourhood, next to Ciutadella Park and Barcelona Zoo, it was set up in this area as a result of the urban regeneration that came to the city in the wake of the Olympic Games, and breathed new life into three historical buildings that had fallen into disuse. Two of these three buildings, known as Jaume I and Roger de Llúria, owe their origin to the military barracks constructed in 1887. The third, the Dipòsit de les Aigües, had been built some years before and inaugurated in 1880 to regulate the flow of water to the waterfall in Ciutadella park and irrigate the gardens. Designed by architect Josep Fontserè the construction is identical to a Roman prototype, comprising a maze of 14-metre-high parallel arches, which intersect in a barrel vault and spread out with a mirror effect along its 65 metres.

    A real trash of university when allows part of its students block the rest. It does not deserve any good reputation after what we've seen recently. My children will keep away from this as well as UB & UdG. We won't waste our money and time in unworthy places. Really disgusting.

Antoni Gaudí, then a young architecture student, contributed to the project by doing the calculations for the support elements. Now transformed into a public library with enormous reading rooms for students. No public WiFi unless you have a student account. The cafeteria sells resonable food at bargain prices.

    Worst educational institution I have ever seen in my entire life. In terms of actual education, the university is a joke. The administration is rude and horrendous. No one wants to help you. No one wants to do anything. OMA (international office) is never open. Professors come late, or sometimes don't even show up to class. You have to chase professors and university administration for something as basic as a course syllabus. A good amount of antisemitism among the professors, as well as racism, and pro-Catalonia independence propaganda is everywhere. Even if you are an exchange student, and don't know a word of Catalan, all communication is done in Catalan, without the option of changing it to Spanish or English. Do yourself, and your education a favour, and skip out on this university.
