Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because it is kind of difficult to live in a clean place when you live with other students. And, it is expensive to live on campus.

Valencia is a very nice city.
There is a "rastro" each sunday (in front of the Mestalla) where you can find some good inexpensive things.

Get an ISIC card.
