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.

No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your Spanish?

Personal comments:
I had a strong level of Spanish before entering Spain, but had not spoken it in a while. After having all of my courses in Spanish, I picked it up very easily. When you use it everyday, it becomes routine!
