Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? The chance to be able to meet and live with other international students would be more worth while.

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: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
Galician Spanish is pretty pure, but there is defintely a influence from the regional language which is Gallego. You can get by with no problems with basic Spanish. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
