Universidad de Granada (UGR)

Some teachers will facilitate the evaluation for exchange students: you should look at that before choosing the class, ask the teacher.

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.

Get there a bit earlier

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.

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.

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.
