Course recommendations
Due to the initial langauge barrier, perhaps a course that you already have some knowledge of. i.e. i did a course in Marketing with tourism as i already had knowledge of the vocabulary plus it interested me more

Personal comments
I felt I was well prepared for university life as I had taken a four-month course of Spanish in Cadiz earlier the same year. I was therefore used to speaking to people in different situations and settings and besides that, Spaniards are very approachable and easy-going. Apart from practising Spanish at univerisity and with friends, I also learnt Italian and some French through the interaction with other foreigners.

Try to find somewhere within walking distance of Granada's university and bus station to save on bus fares - I could easily walk to the university, bus station and supermarket from my shared house near Granada's bullring

Personal comments
The favorite "sport" was going "de tapeo" (beer served with different kinds of snacks). At Elvira street there were many tapas bar (castaneda, elvira, marruecos, antecualla...). I also used to go out for drink (copas). NIght life in Granada is very cheep. Apart from that, I didn't like discotecas, I prefered the activities I already mentioned. I also liked to invite people at home, have fiestas or guitar nights.

Personal recommendation
It's a great place, should be a first choice for everyone, of course everyone says that about everything they love. At least you can assume that it's a sure bet, although fun is possible everywhere.
