Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
because you can be more independent when you share a flat with other students and maybe is also the cheapest way to live in a country.

Personal comments
My experience in Granada, a so beatuful and sunny city, was excellent. The University ambient and people in general are very friendly, so I didn't spend so much time to understand the University sistem. In the nine months I spent there I had five exams in two faculies: "Faculty of Literature", and "Interpreters and translators".
I am very happy to have decided to ask for the erasmus program, because it's the greatest experience i've had until now.

Overall
I wish I had known...
I wish I had more information about the Univerity in general and the couses I could do. I didn't know anithing when I arrived in granada, because my University didn't tell me about it. I discovered there that there werw two semesters, courses of six and nine cfu, not exactly as in Italy, anf things like that. there'a a lot of burocracy before and after the erasmus.

It's not a very big Univerity, but for this reason is well organized and at the same time the Uni. and in the city there are great cultural events. The same course is done once in the morning and once in the evening.

Personal comments
the first and also teh send months were the most difficult of the erasmus because i always had to ask people to speak more slowly and i felt to be a stranger and out of most conversations. Smonetimes I also disn't have the words to express my own opinion and my needs, so this was wery frustrating. But living with a spanish girl, going to university, and to the language course for erasmus students I improved very quikly and evry problem disappearedand now I speak a very fluent spanish.
