Academic
Course recommendations
The Spanish grade a lot differently than what I was used too. They are harder because the grading isn't a day to day thing because it is pretty much your final test that determines your grade.

Personal recommendation
Sevilla is the best university to study at and learn spanish. Barcelona is catalan and Madrid just sucks. Sevilla is the only city with a real spanish culture intact while the other two have become more americanized.

Since this was my second time studying in Sevilla and I knew the city and the university I had a easier time than most students. I learned well but in Sevilla the spanish speak a lot faster so it was hard at times.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because I would like to have my own schedule of when to eat and don't need a mother looking after me. I have studied abroad twice both times living with host families and I feel that I know how the spanish live and would be comfortable living in an apt.
