Final comments
Make sure you get the chance to travel to Sevilla, Cordoba, Cadiz in the south and also see other places along the way, like Ronda, Tariffa, Cabo de Gata etc. Also while travelling don´t have to many expectations on housing. I preferred travelling quite economically in order not to spend to much money. Some living conditions can be great while others not so much. Just enjoy the trips without being to fuzzed about places you stay at. Also try to stay away from people from you home country and try to meet and hang out with spanish people instead. They will teach you a lot and also show you the best things to see.

Academic
Course recommendations
Remember that if you have the ability to choose language courses, these usually take ERASMUS students under consideration and give you time to enjoy the occasion of being abroad besides studying. Remember not to choose courses that are above your level of comprehension for this will not give you any time to enjoy yourself.. It´s important to have time outside of school where you can get to know spanish speaking people. The best way to learn a new language is speaking and interacting with people from there!

A great experience and the best way to learn a language properly is being in a country where it is being spoken. Also the fact that most spaniords don´t speak any english forces you to learn more.

Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal social experience
Personal comments
The center has a lot of night spots but if you get to know the spanish people they will show you more amazing places outside of the city center. Through the school, ASEE, you can sign up to get emails for many activities that take place during the semester. Its a great way to meet students but also remember to mix with the locals to learn spanish in the best posible way! Remember not to hang out with people that come from diferent countries than yourself to get the most out of your experience with new cultures.
