Personal comments
Spanish is a must for living in Spain.Others languages are NOT spoken! But it's the best thing that can happen to you. After 3-4weeks you are FLUENT! Just speak, and don't be shy. Spanish people are very open. They love talking to strangers; especially if you are an exchange student

the best is to rent a flat. You get the best deal. There are plenty of flats available and students from all over "la Comunidad" are sharing apartments. so you'll get in touch with lots of local people really easily. university housing in spain is really expensive
