Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

Personal comments
The university could help the students more with the aprtment because many people had problems with finding a flat. I myself was quite happy with my flat and I found it quickly.

Course recommendations
The university should provide exchange students with a study guide. The study guides also should be free for exchange students. Also, the timetables should be more easily available .

Personal comments
I learned very much Spanish, which was due to the fact that both in my flat we all spoke Spanish and I also took all the classes in Spanish. I went to class regularly (did not miss any except for when I had a flu) and tried to interact with the local students as well as the teachers. My own activity was very important in learning. I also think the ERASMUS language course was useful.
