Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits
The money that went towards food and accomodation was included in my program fees and supplied by my host family. Basic costs are less involving nightlife and other activities. I would rate travel about the same because I took advantages of more travel opportunities abroad than at home. Using the telephone is more expensive because there is a government monopoly and calling overseas is expensive.

I enjoyed Carbonaria for watching flamenco and socializing. I also enjoyed Catedral and Notre Dame for dancing. The Santa Maria Park is beautiful and relaxing.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
I believe that my Spanish speaking skills improved vastly because of the interaction that I had on a daily basis with my family. The classroom learning focused more on listening and writing, but I feel that speaking is crucial as well. I also learned a great deal more about the culture and lifestyle of Spain by living with a family.
