HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: (piso compartido)
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? A lot of independence, cheaper compared to campus accommodation
Personal comments:
Campus accomodation is very expensive (around 500 Euros/month) and most comments I heard weren't particularly positive (noisy, small rooms...). Generally it is absolutely no problem to find a room in a shared apartment at a reasonable price. However, try not to have exceedingly high expectations in terms of facilities at the apartments.

STUDENT LIFE    
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Erasmus students mainly meet at the clubs Tierra, El 66 and Casa del Loco; all of which have a pretty good mixture of (European) music. Other areas for going out include La Zona (behind the Corte Inglés) and El Rollo. Best Café: Café Zen (Calle Alfonso) and Café Antiguo (Gran Via)

Weather / Location
I wish I had known...
There is a really strong wind in Zaragoza called the "cierzo". It makes some days (especially in winter) very uncomfortable.
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:

Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills

Personal recommendation:
The tourism courses are not very demanding in academical terms, but they give a different insight into the tourism industry. As an exchange student you can choose from different years.



FINAL COMMENTS

Bus prices are reasonable (about 12 euros to get to barcelona or madrid, 35 euros to andorra etc). the main ALSA bus station for travels within spain is located at Puerta del Carmen.
