HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? At first I lived with a host family, then I moved out to a flat. It saved a lot of money and I got to meet other Spanish students and live with them. Re
Personal comments:
The housing that the university provides is okay. My host family was great; however, the price was a little too much. The only problem is they take forever to get anything done, which is normal for Spain. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Mulligans Bar targeting Erasmus student is always a good place to meet many international students. Join AEGEE and attend language exchange meeting (German-French-Italian-English-Spanish-Japonese-Chinese are the most common languages). Amazing activities calendar organised monthly by the university http://www.csidiomas.ua.es/actividades/agenda. Free Salsa lesssons Mondays at Havana.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
The choices of courses are good, however I feel strongly that there should be more interaction between students and teachers. Also doing more projects for some aubjects would be good as it gives students a better understanding of the subject as well as applying the strategies and content.

Economics, University Agreement
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Personal savings Other sources of funding:
Family Personal savings Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
I wanted to travel in Spain, so that is what I did. What can I say, it is Alicante, so I did spend more on Nightlife. In my home uni. there are only a few bars none like the ones in Alicante! Travel, Nightlife: was more expensive than at home. Food, Overall, Telephone: was the same price as at home. Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
If your parents have an account with Wachovia, as a studnet you get 4 free non-Wachovia ATM withdrawals. This saved a lot of money and it was so easy to convert dollars to euros. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
OVERALL

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
It is the third biggest ERASMUS city in Spain (according to my spanish friends) therefore there is an immense number of international students, for those wanting to really explore the spanish culture it is most likely you will explore more other cultures. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Study at the University of Alicante as it is one of the most modern, beautiful universities in Spain with lots of activities organised for its students and a fantastic variety of courses including sports. FINAL COMMENTS
Sign up for the Erasmus Spanish course for only 30EU take both courses with local students and international students. Take advantage of sports activities as I did by taking Judo, Water sports(surf,wind surf, rowing, kayaking etc), Beach Volleyball and lots of travelling. If you are looking for accomodation this is the best website to find flats in alicante by the beach or near the centre (I reccomend living near plaza de los luceros or plaza de toros) https://aplicacionesua.cpd.ua.es/anuncios/default.asp?idioma=es Finally enjoy the great weather(around 300 sunny days per year), beach and cultural interaction of such an amazing city.
