Personal spending habits
I found that I was a lot richer in Spain than at home! Things were about a third cheaper there and I ate the same amount of food so I spent less. The nightlife was fantastic so I was going out a lot more than at home, and I felt the urge to see different parts of Spain so also spent more on travel. The telephone was cheaper but I made less calls than at home.

Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
Same as you would at home, try to have a budget. Use the bus to the airport instead of taxis, use the metro instead of taxis; buy a 10 trip metro ticket instead of 10 singles. Take taxis with friends - good anyway for safety.

THE UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE WAS NOT GOOD PARTLY BECAUSE THE METHOD OF TEACHING IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO THE HOST COUNTRY, LOTS OF THINGS TO SEE AND DO OUTSIDE BILBAO, NEAR THE MOUNTAINS AND SITUATED ON THE COAST SO LOTS OF ACTIVITIES TO ENGAGE IN

Personal comments
Irish Stones pub is a favourite with Erasmus as a meeting point at the beginning of a night out. Cafe Boulevard was one of my favourites, Gallerias de Urquijo for nightlife was brilliant fun. Also Congreso, Conjunto clubs and Casco Viejo bars are great. Events; carnival around feb/march in Bilbao and surrounding area, San Fermin and the running of the bulls in summer, not to be missed. St Patrick's day was celebrated to the full in the Irish Stones. Also take a trip to the Guggenheim museum, plenty of interesting things to see there!

check out:
Guggenheim Bilbao.
All the beaches.
Pamplona, 7.7 - fiestas and the famous bull-run.
get a calender with all the fiestas, in general.
get yourself a local girl/boyfriend (if you have a relationship, forget about this point).
dont try to understand the spaniards - just accept their way of living.
bring your car, but never let anything in it - unless you got a good insurance.
have fun! this will be the only time in your life you will have this kind of experience - things will never be the same again....
