Description:
Coming to its 5th centenary soon, the old "Estudi General de València" initially dedicated to the study of medicine, humanities, theology, and law has become a modern European university today. Given the wide range of studies offered as well as its human dimension, the University of Valencia is one of the largest, oldest, and most varied Spanish universities.

My academic experiences
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
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 difficulties
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. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
