Course recommendations
As soon as you arrive get to know your ERASMUS office, and all those who work there; also become familiar with you tutor in charge of the ERAMUS students. Spain is very beauracratic so expect to fill out lots of paperwork, make sure you have all the necessary letters from your home university so that your registration in your host university isn't delayed.

When I arrived it was a shock as the way I was taught in England was not representative of everyday language use. Now I'm more fluent and familiar with everyday terms.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
If you can live in a shared flat, that's the best way to meet good friends and discover the culture/language in an easier way.

Personal comments
It's very hard to find a godd apartment (piso) in September. If you can, try to find one in the summer before your arrival. Try to read the diary "segundamano" where you can find a lot of ads. The university has a list of accomodations too but I haven't tried it.

At first it was quite a difficult to follow the lectures (for example because of the vocabulary) but the more you hear the language, the more & the faster you learn.
