There's not too many international students yet, so you'll get personal help from the teachers. Cambus is not beautiful, but people are nice. I recommend it.

Cafe Antxoki was nice. I recommend the trekking trips organized by university. Bilbaos fiestas on August should be very good.

Housing
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.
