Universidad de Salamanca (USAL)
Universidad de Salamanca, Patio de Escuelas 2, 37008 Salamanca, Spain
4.25 / 5 based on 516 reviews.
Description:
Since its founding in 1218, the University of Salamanca has had illustrious jurists, scientists, doctors and writers among its professors and students. In 1987 the construction of a new campus was undertaken to satisfy the growing needs of the University of Salamanca. This remarkable material growth that the University of Salamanca has undergone over the last ten years has been accompanied by an even more remarkable qualitative and quantitative growth, both in the number of students and teaching and administrative staff, on the one hand, and in the number of degrees and doctoral programs offered, university institutes and technological centres and services for the university community, on the other.

HOUSING
by Alexander, Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Vienna, Austria
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? it's cheap, and to rent an apartment with other students is definitely the best thing u can do in Salamanca...and it's very easy to find one!
Personal comments:
there are many different apartments...it takes about a week to find a nice apartment..always look at as many apartments as possible..there are big price-differences.. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Depending upon the type of program you are in, it could be hard to meet local students. If you're enrolled in Cursos Internacionales, you take classes in a separate part of the university than local students do, however, it is easy to meet other international students through such programs. One thing to do in order to meet local students is to get an intercambio.

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: Basic phrases My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
The University itself did not offer a very useful language course for foreigners but there was a very cheap and good option in the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas in Salamanca to learn two hours per day of Spanish as a foreign language.

OVERALL
by John, University of Georgia, Athens, United States
Language, AIFS
Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
I might not have picked a program with class five days a week. This didn't leave much time for travel. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Go through AIFS. It was wonderful. Salamanca is the perfect college town. FINAL COMMENTS
Travel in groups for safety reasons. Living in a dorm is fun but students will learn less of the foreign language. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
