Realize that Pamplona is not a huge city. It is perfect if you like good food, an interesting mix of cultures, and great regional travel opportunities - the mountains and the sea are close by! Read Review

Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? it´s the best possibility to get to know and live with spanisch people
Personal comments:
the location couldn´t have been better, because you only had to go to university by feed for 10 minutes. furthermore all the other erasmus people lived closed to my house and almost all the parties have been closed to my house. you get help from the university to find a accomodation.

Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
pamplona is a very small city, neverteheless you have some opportunities to go out (but mostly with other erasmus students) on thursday you have to got to los portales, which is a bar in casco viejo, the beer only costs 70cent and a long drink you can get for only 3€. from thursday to saturday you can go to "la travestia" (or la trave), which is a street with many bars closed to each other, after you have to go to "marengo" or "Reverendos" or "vaiven", which are disco in san juan (next to travestia) during the week you have al lot of bars you can join to. i liked "jumping jester", "kopas" and "boulevard" (in iturrama) and "long island" (in san juan) and of course you can´t miss to join the tipical life-stile of going out for eating tapas. the best atmosphere you can get in casco viejo.

Personal comments:
It was really different from in the United States - so much depended on the exams. I thought the grading was harder, but I needed a lower score to pass, so it evened out.

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
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: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
First thing I can say is that it is going to be rough and tough the first weeks. You are going to miss home, friends and family; understanding people will be hard at times, making yourself understandable will probably be even harder. But now worries, as soon as you get a grip on the new language, when you have gotten to know new people and you are used to your knew environment you won't feel like going back home.
