ACADEMIC

My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
Don´t join the courses in "valenciano", you don´t understand a word and it´s real extra-work.



My opinion of the university assessment
Exams at end of course
KEY:
Liked it.
It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course
Essays and/or projects at the end of course.
Essays and/or projects throughout the course
Overall
Personal comments:
The university of Valencia doesn´t have an introduction week at the beginning of the semester. And most of the teachers still don´t have fixed hours of attention. It would be nice to organize a meeting for all the international students because you loose a lot of time until you really start studying.

Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Personal comments:
As soon as we (International Erasmus students) agreed to speek Spanish as first language, we managed to control the language pritty fast. Living with a Spaniard was a very good choice.
