Had to buy blankets, because there were any. A good saving tip may be to share an apartment with more people: lots of common devices will cost much less.

Academic
Course recommendations
overall, very satisfactory. maybe it would be better to have more paper support to study on (books, fotocopies) rather than just notes taken during the lessons.

Final comments
In Spain travelling by bus is much quicker and cheaper then by train. So, use buses as much as you can, you won't regret. Try to meet as many local people as possible -- this is the only way to get into a foreign culture and understand and appreciate it. Try not to be enclosed in the international students' partying. It might be amazing, but it is also somewhat fake.

Housing
Type of housing: A room in a shared apartment
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room in a shared apartment
Why?
It gave me the opportunity to meet with new people in the same conditions I was and helped socialization at the beginning; it is much more cost effective.
