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? 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.

Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.

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!!!!
