Most food is cheaper when at the supermarket. Most restaurants are the same though. I had a mobile phone, and the rates were the same as a mobile calling card plan. My apartment was a lot cheaper than in the U.S. Most bars and disos were cheaper, although a few are more expensive. Travel was cheaper mainly just because public transportation was a lot cheaper.

Telephone:

was the same price as at home.

Food, Housing, Nightlife, Travel, Overall:

was less expensive than at home.

Personal comments

If you are going to be using buses (main form of public transportaion), I highly suggest buying a "bonobus" ticket, which is 10 rides on any bus. It is half the price of paying the driver every time. Same goes for the local trains. If you have to take the train everyday, buy a monthly pass to save money.

Work opportunities:

I didn't explore any work options

Personal spending habits

I didn´t have a fixed telephone so I had to call from my mobile or from a public telephone. Generally the rents are cheaper in Spain. The nightlife is less expensive than in Germany, but I went out more than at home! Even after a few months you still feel like being on holiday! I traveled more than I do in Germany, because I had only a few months to get an impression of the country.

REVIEWS BY INTERNS AT Universitat de València

Category manager assistant es la persona que elegira las...

fue una practica muy interesante y rica porque he aprendido muchas cosas del sector de la comida. Mis misiones eran de proponer y elixir las buenas categorías de productos para las clientes según del periodo. Tambien, fue cerca de la promociones que podrían hacer sobre los productos y como promocionarlos en la tiendas !! Fue muy interesante y me permite de conocer mas el mundo de la empresa

Excelente formación

He tenido la posibilidad de actuar en diversos ámbitos, como en la atención a usuarios por prestaciones, violencia de género, dependencia, refugiados de la guerra de Ucrania, tarjetas A.S.U., Discapacidad, PNC, ...

Buena experiencia

Trabajar en un gabinete de comunicación de un centro cultural te acerca la perspectiva más 'empresarial' del periodista.

EXPERIENCA EN SEGURIDAD PETROLERA

Se realizo algunas actividades que ya existian y se mejoro otras siempre dentro de la normativa de seguridad que existe para esa institucion.

Una experiencia motivante

Fue una experiencia agradable en su conjunto. Aprendí varias cosas en cuanto a formación y el ambiente es bueno. Por poner un pero diré que eché en falta algo más de tutorización por parte de los responsables aunque de esto aprendí a ser más autosuficiente.
