HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? It's a choice of independence. I liked I could decide what to do in every moment and because with my house mates we developed a beautiful relationship, we're still in touch although they live in spain and Portugal.
Personal comments:
I could chose their help, and I can say that Alicante has a great reception for international students, but I made it by myself so I can't say mora than I've done. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Spanish "fiesta" is the best....A place not to be missed the "casco antiguo", in particular "desafinado". Have a mojito in "cozcorron", the best in teh world!!! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

ACADEMIC
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
You have to choose it before you arrive because the spanish system is quite different from Italian, you have to choose the exam you are taking the week after you arrive in Alicante, that's 4 months before of the exam!!!!

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:
Before my study experience I had no idea of what was Spanish but I can assure you taht after 4 months I could understand almost everything, on TV, at university, etc. But what's more important is that I could speak very well after only 6 months!
