Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It was cost effective while at the same time a good opportunity to interact with spainish citizens... Living with a host family Isn´t the only option to live with native speakers.

Academic
Course recommendations
Be careful if you are taking courses in what is not your native language, I ended up with some that I chose because they looked easy enough for an exchange student and ended up board... you have to challenge yourself!

Overall
I wish I had known...
Little details, like they don´t expect you to possibly select a class schedule where nothing overlaps. If I would have known that I would have taken more of the classes I wanted first semester and not worried so much about it.
