HOUSING
by Jeannine, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Knoxville, United States
Language, Independent
Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I did enjoy living with a family because it gave me an inside look at the Spanish culture, but since I do already have that experience I would like to go back and have more freedom in my home there.
Personal comments:
The program, API, was very accommodating for those who had housing problems. Such as there was one person who had issues with his host family and the program immediately found him a better placement. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Activities: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
My favorite spot was right around the block that i lived on, called Aldemeda de Herculis. You can't place the center of town without going into the Cadedral de Seville, its just breathe taking! To shop, Calle Tetuan has by far the best shops. Triana is the place to be during the month on April fo Feria, don't miss out!!

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Although the university offers classes in English, it is more beneficial to you to take the Spanish-speaking courses only. It may be frustrating at first but you learn much quicker.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
I think there should more encouragement and more venues to interact with the local students. Sometimes the school felt segregated. 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?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
My only qualm with the university was the segregation between the international and local students. Although it was not the university's fault that I was not as involved with the local students, I did feel interaction was not as encouraged as it should have been on either side.

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
No,I hadn't. I had been to Spain before, but only visiting,not living there. So with most of the daily situations or some kind of problems I had to face at the moment of starting my scholarship. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
