HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? You have your personal freedom, can choose where you want to live (city center or rather near your university) - and if you want to stay in contact with people from the campus, you can visit them whenever you want to.
Personal comments:
I am very satisfied with the accomodation at ICADE. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Personal comments:
In the beginning I had difficulties with the language since my Spanish wasn't really good. But over the last months it was improved, especially by having contact to other international students and Spanish people and during my internship in Madrid.
