Overall
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
A really nice place with jazz, sofas and the best gin-tonics is the CHASTON. I used to work there, if you go there, say hi to the coolest boss ever and his wife: Paco & Ana! It is not the regular students bar but a nice place with many locals!

My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
the exams are harder that you migth think, many exchange students failed. Hardly anybody can pass more than 4-5 exams. Use the advantage of courses with group-work. It helps to get in touch with local students and improving your exam grades.

Using your mobile phone without a contract (I only had a prepaid card) is very expensive! Travelling with buses is the cheapest I have ever seen (11Euros to Barcelona). And housing was only cheaper because I am living alone in Germany.

Food, Nightlife, Overall: was the same price as at home.
Travel, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
I had to pay much more additional charges for electricity, water, gas, etc. than I was told. You should have a written confirmation of what you need to pay for living including ANY additional charges!
