Overall
I wish I had known...
Perhaps accomodation. It had not been so easy to find it there soon. And also something more about the courses at university, the school system in Spain.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Try to ask for information about courses and practices! In Italy practices do not have the same importance they have in other countries. In fact, in Spain they are an essential part of the note. If you do not attend the practices, you cannot do the exam.

Final comments
I think an experience abroad is amazing. It is a possibility to grow up, to learn other points of view, to meet new people.
To the students that are going to leave I would recommend to collect informations before leaving in order to not be in a maze once the arrive in the host country.

Personal comments
When I left from Italy I cannot speak spanish. I attended a course, that lasts a month, in order to learn basic phrases and it was useful but not sufficient. Living in the host country and attending the university was essential to learn fluently the language.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because I think that in this way you can be more indipendent, but at the same time you can share the house with other people you chose.
