Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
Many people in the Administration speak perfect english but the will not use it, even when they are realizing that you have problems to express yourself. This can be a bit hard, especially at the beginning when you have so many administrative tasks to be done and fixed.

Academic
Course recommendations
Inform yourself about all the possible lectures, teachers are normally really nice and ready to adapt their timetables to their student's. In Spain it was quite the opposite!

(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
There are great opportunities to make practical trainings. Maybe it is worthy changing a bit nightlife for a few more opportunities of improving your C.V. I do not regret it at all!

(1) Never – (4) A lot
Became familiar with another culture
Met people from other countries
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies & career
Final comments
Talk to someone who lives in the city to know which places you should not go to. Racial issues can be important here, but easy to avoid with a little bit common sense.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I chose to live with other german students because I thought it was the best way of improving my language skills, so maybe if I had to go back AS A STUDENT, I would do that again.

Personal comments
I first decided to apply for a room in one of the University's dorms, but I was so disappointed with the place, the cleanliness the absence of german students and the price, that I left and started looking for another place.One of the best things I've ever done!
