Favourite Pub-LA RIVIERA....best tapas in town. LA Tortuga is also very good. Asfar as nightclubs go, you cant get better than El Camborio located high in the hills of the city overlooking the beautiful Alhambra

Academic
Course recommendations
Makesure you go to a few different buildings....The university is spread all over the city so you can have class in the the hills in the morning and bang in the city centre in the evening

Dont rush in to getting accomadation. Spend your time looking for an apartment worth having. The hostals wont break the bank so you can spend a good week searching for a great apartment that doesnt cost an arm and a leg. You will benefit in the long run.
