Not particularly. Discovering things for myself was part of the enjoyment of my ERASMUS experience.

(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
The general provision of academic resources was extremely poor at the university. The books available in business library were very dated and limited in numbers, and Internet and computer access were almost non-existent. I would recommend, therefore, that the Universidad de Sevilla directs more resources towards this vital aspect of college life.

Final comments
In summation, spending time studying at the Universidad de Sevilla was a very rewarding experience, both academically and socially. As with all things in life, however, you will only get out of it what you are prepared to put in, so go on, immerse yourself in the experience- it's second to none!

Personal comments
Immersing myself in the local culture was a fantastic way in which to improve my Spanish skills, while attending lectures in Spanish benefited my formal Spanish. I also attended German classes during my time at my host university and this allowed me to hone my German skills also.
