Researching a move to Spain...Help?

My boyfriend and I are looking into a move to Spain in the next 1.5 years. He is planning on doing a Masters in Business in Barcelona and I am just wanting to go along for the ride. Problem is I have no idea where to start the research it would take to get the necessary visas, look into housing options, connect with other foreigners living in the city, etc. I am starting from scratch here and would appreciate any help I could get as we start planning this exciting adventure!

Thats funny... Im in the same circumstance with the mba and with the same type of questions... what school is he looking into in barcelona?

So am I!! Any info re: visas, accommodation, jobs would be very much appreciated!

If any of you end up deciding to buy a place in Spain and want to be on a TV show let me know! I work for House Hunters International.

Some really helpful Spanish visa information can be found at gospanishabroad.com/spain-visa.html and gospanishabroad.wordpress.com . The job situation right now in Spain is not great so plan on having a good cash cushion in the bank in case you can't find work. To work abroad in Spain a good knowledge of Spanish is an absolute must and since you're going to Barcelona it would help you out a great deal to learn some Catalan as well. Good luck to you in your adventure abroad in Spain!
