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.

Universidad de Sevilla review by bryantischler

HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: with the same family
Why? i had a great experience with my second host family.i felt apart of their family and it made the adjustment of living in another country easier.the first family with whom i lived i just didn´t get along that well with them.
Personal comments:
the price for accommodation is too expensive for the normal family with whom a student will be placed.the cheapest way for a student would be to live with other students, but in many cases, one will often find foreign exchange students living with other foreign exchange students, and therefore losing the opportunity to learn the other language.

3.5 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
the courses SECE are ridiculous.if you want to do absolutely nothing these classes are for you!
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
treat the exchange students equally with respect to non-exchange students. this year was by far the easiest year i have ever had.i would have liked it to be a little more intense. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
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: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
i found that the majority of exchange students cling together and never really try to learn the foreign language and that makes it really hard at first. later i made a stronger effort to get to know more locals, and that´s when i really begin to learn spanish.

I wish I had known...

Everybody loved it, you will too!
