4.19 / 5 based on 690 reviews.
Description:
The University of Granada has suffered its ups and downs during its more than 450 years' existence but has always been the focal point of scholarship and learning in the city, to such an extent that Granada can be called a true university city, like Oxford and Salamanca for example, where the university and its colleges and annexes extend throughout the city and its influence is felt in all walks of life.

Universidad de Granada review by Sebastien

HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? living in a house seemed to be the best option, and in fact almost the only one. I first looked for a residence, but the university offers very few. Then i looked for a Colegio mayor, which is a kinda residence, but with religious orientation, and it just was 3 times more expensive than a house, was very young, and had just too many rules (be back by 11, can't lock room, etc.) for someone used to autonomy. Anyway, looking for the adds of rooms to rent or appartments and houses to rent is pretty much what every does in granada, and with reason because its efficient. An advice would be to get there one or two weeks before beginning of classes if you want to find something in the best part of the city, which is Albayzin and Realejo, because competition is fierce there.

ACADEMIC
1.0 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Some teachers will facilitate the evaluation for exchange students: you should look at that before choosing the class, ask the teacher.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
It could have been better, but if its just for a semester or two in your life, doesn't really matter... One bad thing is that international students, since there are so many, are not taking care of by a welcoming comittee, or anything to make them get to know each other at the beginning of semester.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
In classes its easier, but while taking a beer, people in andalucia talk faster then their shadow, and use losts of slang, so if you really want to perfectly be at ease with that, you have to live only with them. It's hard to catch. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Government assistance Other sources of funding:
Family Personal savings Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work Personal spending habits:
Mobil phones costs more than phone in canada, housing also, more occasions to go out, so more money ob beer, transport in bus is very cheap, cheaper than in north america. Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Food, Travel: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Some people open a bank account their and say its cheaper in a long-term basis for withdrawal in cash machines than to do it with a bank card that comes from your country (which will make you pay extra fees for withdrawal.) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
OVERALL
Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Get there a bit earlier In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
It's a great place, should be a first choice for everyone, of course everyone says that about everything they love. At least you can assume that it's a sure bet, although fun is possible everywhere. FINAL COMMENTS
