HOUSING    
by Benjamin, University of Bath, Bath, United Kingdom
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.

Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Great advantage to be living with Spanish students. Landlord very friendly and approachable, very cheap rent.
Personal comments:
For students that prefer to be up around University / a quieter area of living choose St. Vicente. Those who require more of a party life and dont mind travelling to Uni each day, find one of the many flats available to rent in Alicante itself.

Business Studies, University Agreement
Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I can speak Spanish and English, but Spanish better. To learn a foreign language, the best way is going abroad to practise, because people there speak diferently. It´s amazing when you can express you emotion like a local people.

Personal spending habits:
I was housed through 'Houses for you' managing director Javier Ornia. they are the dirtiest most unproffesional, disgusting company I have ever delt with and are threatening and intimidatory. The company is run by idiots and the service they offer is worse than anyone can imagine.
Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
