Personal comments
As in whole Spain, the housing was arranged in form of shared apartments that depends a lot on the people you stay with, the best of course is to stay with other Erasmus students. The university arranges apartments upon a request and they are ok.

Housing
Type of housing: shared flat
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: shared house
Why?
Because you live with different people together in one house. It's social but still smaller than a residency (expensive, rules)

Personal comments
The housing done by the university was really bad. I ended up in a house 40 minuts from the campus. I didn't sign any contract, hired two weeks and started looking on my own.

They don't care at all about finding you an accomodation. They don't even asnwer your question about courses or staying through e-mail. Anyway, the situation is not so bad once you are there (they have a good organisation, after all).

If you cannot speak Spanish, it would be hard for you to find it yourself. That would require you to use expensive service from agency.
