Visa card was not accepted anywhere. (only pincard or mastercard). There was a 4% comission each time I took money from my spanish account in a cash machine. There are also problems if you try to open an account in a local bank for less than one year.

“It is very interesting”

Overall

The University is very good when it comes to the international business and management studies. It is full mixed cultures from all around the world and the same with the teachers. The teachers are very good and understanding, they make you feel as you are in a family and make you feel more interested to study through specific team work strategies and other ways.

Pros

mixed cultures

Cons

it can be more organized
