Course recommendations
The courses we had were just with other Americans since we were divided in our program. This has its drawbacks and benefits, but it worked out well.

Overall
I wish I had known...
I can't say there was any one thing that I wish I would have known. I guess I wish I had brought more of the "right" clothes, but that is not really a critical issue. I went in with an open mind and that was the most important thing.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
If I went back now, I would live independently because I would be doing something different. However, I would not change my experience for anything. I loved my family and they only made my experience that much better.

In Cordoba the nightlife is great. I would reccomend Ciudad Jardin for nightlife and bars and clubs. For afternoon cafe or just people watching you can't miss gran via.
