I wish I knew more about the university system as I got quiet shocked when I found out that hardly anything is really organised here.

Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills

Personal recommendation:
The university is not very well organised, and one has to find out about everything oneself. Harldy anyone will help or cares.



FINAL COMMENTS

Valencia is a great city, it's very beautiful and there are lots of things to discover and visit. There are cheap airline companies who will bring you here from nearly anywhere in Europe.
