It goes just perfect. Schools and Universities are modern and international there. Teaching is also great. Moreover, there are lots of parties for student. Students just come together from all over the EU and go party in Barcelona.

How much does it cost to live in Barcelona?

Including all needs it would cost you approximately 700 or 800 euro a month. Not expensive city for living, indeed. Personally, I would live there. It is also important to have a job. Note, that majority of employers demand to know the basic level of Catalan language otherwise you will not be employed.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Barcelona? Is there any advice you can give?

Not at all, just use the Internet in a right way. It is quite clear, that accommodation out of downtown is always cheaper. However, better speak Spanish language to get settled more quickly.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

Food is strictly due to culture. I would up for Gazpacho. Likewise, you may find many Italian and Asian restaurants. Fast food or junk food is quite in many place too. There are Mcdonald's, KFC, Subway, Burger King, North Fish and so on and so forth. Spanish cuisine is really delicious and I recommend you to try it.
