Personal comments
Well, there weren't places above to mark my real ability. I went to Spain with very good Spanish reading and writing skills and mediocre speaking skills. When I left, my Spanish skills as a whole were sharpened, and now I feel very comfortable speaking Spanish in any situation, although I can't say that I'm able to understand all slang.

Final comments
Take courses you like, because in the Spanish university system, all classes are lectures...so if you don't like the subject, you'll be really bored! Also, tons of Spaniards skip class a lot- DON'T! Go to class! And have FUN! Explore Andalucia; it's amazing!
