Personal comments
Having studied Spanish during my undergraduate degree, I had good written skills prior to my year in Spain. I had however a lesser level of oral competency, which my year in Spain allowed me to raise to the level of fluency. Although this was sometimes a challenging experience it was thoroughly worthwhile, both socially and academically.

Final comments
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.
