Final comments
you should join the language course at the beginning of the semester to get to know people and to do some travelling togehter. if you don`t like the accomodation that the host university has offered you it is no problem to find another one. summarized i loved the semester in spain and i would recommand it to everybody to do it!

Course recommendations
You have to learn really hard, because you don't have any advantages only because you are from abroad. but the teachers are really nice and you can come to them any time with your questions.

First I couldn't even say a right phrase but at the end it was no problem to comunicate with everybody and to understand even the hardest topics at university. Erasmus is the perfekt way to really learn a language.

Personal comments
I changed the room they had occupied for me because it was really too small and I was living just with one other guy that was no spanish. So I changed into a flat with 2 spanish and one french girl. It was really great there.
