HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why? I lived with other erasmus students and a spanish girl, I met a lot of people thanks to that and experienced th life with people from divers countries.
Personal comments:
This was a very good university, in my opinion. The subjects I had chosen gave me the opportunity to work a lot with spanish students and I had to do many presentations in every subjects, so I had to speak spanish in public. 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: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
I was definitely more confident in speaking the language by the time I left the country than when I had first arrived. My regular meetings with certain Spanish students helped to gain this confidence. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
A private grant Other sources of funding:
Family Personal savings Government assistance A private grant Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work Personal spending habits:
I spent more on food because I ate at restaurants often and more on housing because it included food and laundry service as well. With regards to nightlife and travel, I spent more because I travelled and went out more than I normally do at home. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Use the low budget airline websites www.rumbo.es and www.despegar.com for travel between Madrid and the larger cities along the coast like Valencia, Barcelona, Bilbao, and Malaga. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
It needs to be slightly better organised bit other than that, it's lovely. FINAL COMMENTS
Travel round Spain as much as you can while you are there as it is all part of the experience. Use coaches as they are very reliable and cheap. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
