I thought there was not much wrong with my accomodations except for the fact that we were not allowed to have people over.

I would have to say that I loved going to Joy Eslava and a lot of the little cafes all over Spain. Especially the cafes in Chueca.

Make sure that you are cleared at home with the courses you are going to take there. Make sure you talk to Paco if you have any problems. Actually go to class and learn something.

Personal comments
I loved the fact that syudying in another country kind of made school continue after you left the university. The reason I say that is because I would actually use some of the spanish I learned in class outside. It also helps you become a little more comfortable in Speaking overall and making errors. i definitely learned a lot of Spanish while there.
The only thing that I would recommend for anyone who wants to go there and studyt would be to live with a family because I lived with a bunch of Americans and it kind of slowed down the learning process.

Personal comments
The only real financial bind I got caught up in was coming home and being charged with the extra bag. Be careful so you can actually make it on the plane.
