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: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why? There's no appartments in campus, roon exchange would be easiest form, although most of the students in Spain live with their parents.
Personal comments:
It would be nice to get some help in searching a department. Appartments in the web pages of the Uni are very exppensive, nott realistic.

FINAL COMMENTS

With Ryanair you can fly cheap to Bilbao and take the bus (there's one every half an hour) from over there to Vitoria. On your way back send some stuff by post to avoid paying for extra kilos.
