Universidad de Córdoba (UCO)
Universidad de Córdoba, Programas y Relaciones Internacionales, Alfonso XIII, 13, 14071 Córdoba, Cordoba, Spain
4.33 / 5 based on 210 reviews.
Description:
La Universidad de Córdoba, fundada en 1972, es una Universidad joven, pero que recoge experiencias como la de la Universidad Libre que funcionó entre 1870 y 1874. Es un campus moderno, en plena expansión, que ha emprendido un ambicioso proyecto, ya muy avanzado, a través del cual se convertirá, a principios del siglo XXI, en uno de los principales complejos de investigación y docencia agroalimentaria y medioambiental de toda Europa.

HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? living with a family provides you with a first hand look at the life and culture that you would be unable to get living with other americans or even with spanish students in a dorm type setting.
Personal comments:
living with a family was great! i'd highly recommend it....if for nothing else then the food was so much better then dorm style food. and you are really and totally emmersed in the culture and forced to speak the language. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
FERIA, FERIA FERIA!!!! it's the last week in may and it's to die for! also check out "carmen's" right next to the universidad, THE BEST place for coffee and bread with fresh tomatoes (it sounds weird, but it's also to die for!) for clubs....all of them on Gran Capitan. also, the veternary school has great outdoor parties at night.

ACADEMIC
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
the music teacher is the sweetest person in the world...she brought us cookies on the first day of class and then invited all of us over to her house for dinner at the end of the semester.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
the teachers were regular spanish professors and they didnt understand the american system of grading. we were grading spanish style and most of the spanish students dont expect to pass a course/exam the first time around. so it was frustrating that the grades that us americans got effected our gpa's when we were really graded the same way that we were used to in the states.

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: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
when i first got there i didnt think that they were speaking spanish, i couldnt understand a word for the first 2 weeks because the accent was so different. but after that i was fine and learned a lot of the phrases. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
