HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I had the freedom to do as I liked.
Personal comments:
Campus housing was farther away than my piso was, so it was easier to live off campus. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
I loved it, but it's more quiet and reserved than say the south of spain. FINAL COMMENTS
Just don't hang out with all the people from your country all the time. Spaniards take a little to open up, but they do. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
