Academic
Course recommendations
All the classes that i took were specifically for american students. They were all good classes but i think it would have been a much better experience had i taken regular university classes with spanish students.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would definitely recommend staying with a host family for the first semester just to see what the culture is like but when/if i come back i will get an apartment just to have a little more independence.

Personal comments
There is sooo much to do at night in Sevilla. The streets are full of people at night, especially thursday through saturday. Go to a botellón (they are everywhere!!) then check out one of the many clubs.
