It is difficult, but there is no better way to learn a language than studying abraod. I made so many mistakes, but learned from them, that is what made this experience so great.

Overall
I wish I had known...
The exchange rate really got me. Also, obtaining a visa was stressful and I would have done it way more in advance.

Personal comments
The exchange rate was difficult to adjust to at first. Also, you need to buy a mobil phone here. Everyone has one and it is the best way to communicate. I spent 100 euro on the phone and about 30-40 euro a month.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Now that I am more independent and have studied abroad before, I am more confident living by myself or with Spanish roommates.

There are so many great spots in Granada! Here are a few of my favorites: La Fontana, Cafe Elvira, DRUIDS, Huerto del Loro are all great bars and tapa spots. Hicuri was my favorite cafe and was close to the school. Bullfights and soccer games are a must!
