Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Personal comments
They offer host families, who do the bare minimum to make your stay nice. Often times they refuse to feed you fruit, and the portions are very small. In university apartments its usually 4 bedrooms with 8 students and 2 bathrooms. Living conditions are very crowded so its better to rent your own apartment. It will be cheaper too!

Academic
Course recommendations
The teachers are very friendly, but the classes are a joke. Very easy and lots of busy work. Also, it is almost impossible to meet a Spaniard at this school.

Personal comments
It is impossible to learn Spanish at this campus. Everyone speaks English and you are not provided with opportunities to meet people from other schools. The Spanish classes are not serious. I learned more in high school classes than the Spanish classes here.
