I liked CATS disco and the GranVia but you need to do your own exploring. The university people are no help

Don't be swindled, ask for photographs and details about the meals. You are spending so much money you would be able to live in a hostal better. The only good thing was I had a decent roommate-

Academic
Course recommendations
This is a joke of a school. The sad thing is that enrollment is so low, you know everyone in a week and you are bored. Watch out if you have a problem with someone. It is a FISHBOWL!

Interaction with international students
Interaction with local students
Personal comments
Actually, most give you good grades without having to work hard. Most students are not serious, You can get away with murder and most do. Fun at the beginning but it really is a waste.

In my opinion:
Stay home.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
They should just close up. It went down so much while I was there (budget cuts?) There is few staff and the courses they offer on the web really aren't given because there are very few teachers. I would ask for a guarantee in writing before going that the courses you need will not be cancelled. Go to Spain but find a better place.

I heard Sufolk was better but it really is depressing. Demand photos that show "the campus" - and you will see that it is not at all like the web.
