“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.” Read Review

HOUSING    
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 - 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.
Personal comments:
I did not ask to university for accomodation. I found it on my own.

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: Basic phrases
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
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.

OVERALL    
Important to choosing this university...
Academic reasons
KEY:
Very Important.
Important.
Not really important.
Unimportant.
Culture
Costs
Activities
Campus life
Party / people
Weather / Location
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!



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
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.
