Universidad de Sevilla (US)

Universidad de Sevilla, C/ S. Fernando, 4, 41004 Sevilla, Spain
4.24 / 5 based on 438 reviews.
Description:
El embrión de la actual Universidad de Sevilla fue el Colegio de Santa María de Jesús, fundado por el Arcediano Maese Rodrigo Fernández de Santaella en las postrimerías del s. XV. Ya en el siglo XVI (1505), una bula del Papa Julio II otorga al Colegio la facultad de conferir grados en Teología, Filosofía, Derecho, Medicina y Artes; y en 1551 el propio Concejo de la ciudad traspasa a la fundación de Maese Rodrigo, la Real provisión que concedía un Estudio General, por lo que aquélla pasó a ser oficialmente la Universidad, gozando de todos los privilegios de las demás Universidades del Reino. De los Estatutos de 1621 se desprende que la Universidad de Sevilla se componía de cuatro Facultades: Teología, Canones y Leyes, Medicina y Artes, y otorgaba los grados de Bachiller, Licenciado y Doctor en todas las Facultades, junto con el de Maestro por la Facultad de Artes.

Why? I really enjoyed living with a host family, but the next time studying or living abroad I would like to share an apartment/house with people who are the same age as myself.
Personal comments:
It was a wonderful experience living with a host family during my stay in Spain. I was able to be immersed in the culture of Spain.
