KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.

Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? often more central than on the campus itself, and I wanted to stay independent...thats why I didn´t want to live with a family
Personal comments:
much cheaper than in Germany, although not that clean and very very cold in winter withoutr a heater!

ACADEMIC    
My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses

Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
The curses are incredibly easy...they talk about themes I had in school when i was 15. The students are very young (most of them round about 16 when they start to study)..and its difficult to get to know people then

A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course

Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Personal comments:
Its difficult to contact anyone in the university - just noone seems to be interested in you. Outside th university the spanish language was difficult to understand at the beginning, because of the andalusian acent.

Personal spending habits:
Just everything is much cheaper in Spain. But: it is difficult to find a job and earn good money in south spain!! You need to live from your savings...but from these you can live a while

Personal comments:
At the beginning I spend much more than I planned to. One needs a lot of stuff to live, which you cant carry in the plane. For example we needet to buy a heater etc.
