Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
there's several intensive courses for learners of Spanish, above all at the beginning of the academic year. The ones offered by the university seem to be very effecient and make it easy to meet other Erasmus as well.Contact the relaciones internacionales for information about those courses. There's a second option, cheaper, offered by La Escuela de Idiomas 1. Don't miss the entrance tests which checks which level you're on. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!

Personal recommendation:
I don't know what to say here. I enjoyed every part of student life in Zaragoza! FINAL COMMENTS
travelling to and from Zaragoza: Zaragoza hasn't got an airport but it's quite quick, comfortable and chaep to fly into Barcelona or Madrid and then go to Zaragoza by coach. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Zaragoza is a fantastic city for an Erasmus exchange because it is a good size (not too big to be overwhelming, and not too small to get boring) In the space of an academic year you can make the most of what is has to offer. The university campus is central and compact, the atmosphere is welcoming. FINAL COMMENTS
I would not recomend travelling to Zaragoza airport, but instead going to either Madrid or Barcelona. This is a much cheaper option and there are good train and bus (cheaper still) links between these cities. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Dont be taken aback by their lack of worry, the spanish are naturally laid back FINAL COMMENTS
Travelling around Spain couldnt be easier and cheaper, taking the bus is the cheaper option but taking the train wont cost you much more. The bus however usualy takes the most direct routes, neither will get you there any quicker. Make sure you know about times in Spain (shop openings, lunchtimesetc, which are very different to the ones in Britain, people tend to work late, take long lunch breaks and go out much later (as late as 12) Good luck This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
Good teaching methods and sports and proves a very good place to learn spanish as there is little dialect. FINAL COMMENTS
I travelled all over spain whilst studying in Zaragoza. By bus you are about 3 hours from Barcelona and Madrid, from where you can easily access the whole of Spain. Iberia did deals for 10,000 ptas about €60 to travel anywhere in Spain if you are under 26. Barcelona is a must and so is the south of Spain.

Personal recommendation:
I would give a thumbs up - it hasn't got the highest academic standards and the lack of facilities could be a problem for some people but Erasmus is about much more than learning academically. FINAL COMMENTS
This was my only choice of University to study at but a have no regrets about going there. Zaragoza is a great city full of great people. I felt very much at home there. Take full advantage of what Zaragoza has to offer - too many students complained of there not being anything to do - there is plenty on if you look hard enough!

Travel tips: It is very easy to get anywhere in Spain and you should do that. It is realy a beautiful country with many different things to do. You can ski for one day in the Pirineos and the other day ly on the beach of San Sebastian. Do not hesitate to visit the countryside with the cheaper prices, more friendlier people and overwhelming tapas! Personal favour spots: Barcelona, Cadiz, Valencia, Sevilla en little villages such as Cuenca. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
The University is fairly good but i cannot complement the city of Zaragoza enough. It is superb. Forget the the Costa Del Sol, go to real Spain, go to Zaragoza!!! FINAL COMMENTS
Ryanair fly directly into Zaragoza from Milan (Bergamo) and London (Stansted)which is inexpensive and good value in my view, watch the weight of your luggage though! It is good to arrive in the city a few weeks before your course starts as you can get used of the place. accommodation is easily found, check the notice boards in the main campus. You can get a good flat for €40 per week. The faculties are spread out all over the city but there is a very efficient and cheap bus network.

Make the most of the chance to meet local students. This opened up loads of opportunities for me(travel, local fiestas, friends). Sometimes its possible to sign up for field trips with other university departments - I did, and it was another good opportunity to meet new people and travel without spending much money.

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. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

On arrival in the city, to find accomodation, the notice boards at univeristy and the accomodation office in san francisco are good places to start searching for flats.

To improve the way of teaching english and to be more indulgent with foreign students who don't have equivalent studies: Ex:My studies are foreign Languages Applied to the economy and I had to go to 3 specified different faculty FINAL COMMENTS
If you are an Erasmus student or any foreign student, don't chose to live on the campus or in a flat with friens who speak the same language because you won' t improve your level in the local langage at all. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal recommendation:
The social life here is excellent as it is a big student city. Tourism is not big here so prices are low and crime is low, and not a lot of people speak English so you are compelled to improve your language skills. FINAL COMMENTS
Zaragoza is slightly out of the way for people to visit you etc, but is a great place to live. It has it's own airport and Ryanair are starting to fly there from December. If it does well, you'll be able to fly there from places like Prestwick, Dublin etc too. However, at the moment, fly to Barcelona or Madrid and take the coach service (www.alsa.es) or the train (www.renfe.es). Find out all you can from people who have been here before you.
