HOUSING
by nawara, Florida State University, Tallahassee, United States
Language, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? When you live with people who speak your language, you don´t learn as much.
Personal comments:
We were allowed breakfast, which if you don´t like coffee isn´t much. The food was decent, but you are required to eat out one meal a day or not at all. For many of us, we ate out twice a day. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
At first it was hard. But I got to know a lot of local people and started speaking with them. I didn´t go to a language course because they didn´t offer a basic level course. I started learning from a book and by talking and going out and drinking. The best Tutor is Beer. No kidding! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

In Spain the food is cheaper than in Germany, but especially seafood is so delicious here. During my stay I wanted to see other places in Spain and took a lot of week-end trips to larger town, that is what I spent most of my money on. Travel, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Overall: was the same price as at home. Food, Nightlife, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
