Renfe train
There is only one train line (called C1, or sometimes just 1) from
the airport to the city. You will find the Airport train station at
the bottom of the map (line C1 is in
grey). You can access the Airport train station by following the RENFE
signs 
, walking through a white and red elevated brigde that
you'll see as soon as you walk out the terminal (there is only one
bridge, and there are signs indicating the train). Trains depart every
30 minutes from 6:13am to 11:40pm. You must get down in PLAÇA
CATALUNYA, which is the 4th stop. It takes 25 minutes from the Airport
to Plaça Catalunya (Price: 2.20 EUR; credit cards not accepted).
In both cases, once in Plaça de Catalunya, you can either walk to the residence (it should take about 10 minutes) or take the line L3 of the subway (direction: Zona Universitària) till the Liceu station (it is the 1st stop).
Taxi 
By taxi. From the airport to Pl. Catalunya should take around 20-30
minutes and cost 15 - 20 EUR, depending on traffic. To go to the
residence should take a little bit longer (and should cost a few
euros more). It is usually a good idea to ask for a receipt.
Coming by train If you arrive to Barcelona by train then you will probably arrive at either Estació de Sants or Estació de França. In any case, you should take the subway and get down at Liceu, and follow Carrer Hospital to get to the residence (see the map above).
