HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? I lived with a family in Seville and loved it. Living with a family makes you feel more integrated into Spanish society.
Personal comments:
The only main drawbacks were that I lived 20 minutes away from downtown, I lived right next to the cemetary, the funeral home, and the retirement home, and I lived with another American (I would've preferred to live with a Spanish girl instead).

ACADEMIC
2.0 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
If you can avoid taking Gramatica I with Carmen Hoyos Hoyos, do so. My favorite course here was Literatura Hispanoamericana with Fuentes Bastardo. Great professor, learned a lot from him.

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
That I wouldn't have much of a social life here. In my opinion:

Personal recommendation:
It's a good university. I chose Valladolid because I knew I would have the opportunity to teach English here at an academy. If I had chosen another university for the social atmosphere, I most likely wouldn't have had the opportunity to teach. My apartment was fully paid for because I taught and I also received a small stipend of 300 euros/month. FINAL COMMENTS
I would choose another town to live in because the people in Valladolid are not open to people who are not from there. It's extraordinarily difficult to make friends here-my main friends here are from the U.S. as well. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
