Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I found it cheaper to go out and find an apparment to share with other students than to live in a residencia, or with a family, or in the appartments listed by the University. I was able to live a Spanish students, and preferred the freedom of coooking and cleaning for myself and coming and going as I liked.

The accomodation had nothing to do with the university. This was a private renting agreement (ie I looked on the lamp posts at the hundreds of adverts and hoped that one was available). I was lucky - my flatmates were wonderful. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
