Living in Spain... Granada or Barcelona?

[shleylag]

Hi... First time posting here. I'm planning to enroll in either the University of Barcelona or University of Granada for around 4 months between Jan 2010 and May 2010. I was wondering if anyone had experience living in either of these cities? I'll have time on breaks to travel around Spain and see all the sites so it is not like I have to choose between seeing either city, I'm just curious if one will be more pleasant to live in for an extended period. I'm going to be going independently so I definitely want to be able to meet a lot of people in their early 20s.
