Sagrada Familia 7, 08500 Vic, Spain
4.29 / 5 based on 48 reviews.
Description:
The University of Vic is of a different kind. It is a new model of a private university as far as its method of management and administration is concerned. However, it also maintains a clear vocation towards public service and a responsibility to its surroundings. A university with the optimum dimension for educational efficiency. A university with an international vision. A practical university with the objective for professional input.

HOUSING
by Louisa, Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom
Translating/Interpreting, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Great experience both culturally and linguistically.
Personal comments:
Halls accommodation is scarce if not non-existent but the university will place you with a family if you want. Private sector accommodation is cheap, easy to come by and of a good standard however, but be careful if you are only there for one semester.

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
To have a drink with a group you have to go to L'India (an Irish Pub) to hear some R&B and to look at other people you need to step into Clot and to have a nice cocktail with some friends go to Tropic This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
If they say that they're offered in English always ask again and make sure that they really are :) But that was not that big of a deal, studying in Spanish is more interesting ;)

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
As the University of Vic is situated in Catalunya and the city itself is very catalan, all the people on the streets are talking Catalan - much more than I expected. It was sometimes dificult to find someone who speaks Spanish! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
