Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. 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:
Since this university is based in Katalonia where they speak Catalan, it was not always as straight forward with the spanish language. I did not however experience any greater problems with it. Everyone speaks spanish and do not mind adressing you in that language if you are a foreigner. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

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

Though we had a really international group we always spoke in Spanish only when it really got hard we did it in french, german or english. Due to constantly speaking in Spanish I improved, however my French got worse. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

In Vic people speak Catalan, it's sth between French and Spanish, so it's more difficult to learn Spanish there then in the other part of Spain, where people speak Spanish This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
