Course recommendations

Be very careful about choosing technical courses in a foreign lenguage. Even if you can speak it well, it is very hard to pick up everytnhing in classes. This problem is moreso in Bilbao due to the lack of textbooks, and the complete dependance on notes taken during class for exams. It is highly recommended to take humanities courses, and few classes at that.

Personal comments

Staying focused is quite difficult in front of the wide range of activities availible to a foreign student. Also, there was a complete lack of course work and quizzes, the only evaluation being one huge final at the end of the course. Definetly stay on top of things throughout the year, it is quite easy to fall behind.
