Fly on Malaga. Go also with the bus to the cities around Granada. When you look for apartment go to Granada a few weeks before the start of the academic year (do for example a language course-there are a lot)

Personal comments
The best place for a botellon is always changing now. Nice places for tapas around Plaza de Toros and Calle Elvira. Best bars along Paseo de los Tristes (gay bars there too). Best clubs got to be Planta Baja and Sala Principe. Don't expect hip music, though! Find out about the ferrias and get to all of them - Cadiz, Xerez (la ciudad sin ley), Cordoba, Granada. Don't go home for easter - I took a trip to Cadiz coast and shot to Seville for a few processions and loved it. Gaditanos are the friendliest people in Spain. Trips to Alicante, Valencia, Barca, Madrid are all worth the crazy bus journeys. Guys join a "TUNA" its mad.

The exchange rate really got me. Also, obtaining a visa was stressful and I would have done it way more in advance.

University of Granada is a great place to learn Spanish. My professors were helpful, fun, and made class a great learning experience. The classes were small and we ahd people from all over the world in our classes (China, Sweden, etc)

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
none
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
Everything was cheaper, with the exception of travel. I took advantage of my time and put extra money into travelling. I did not travel like most other students, on every weekend possible. Instead, I would travel for extended periods, before, during and after the academic year.

A comforter. It gets cold so I'd count on buying something to keep you warm while in bed. Most apartments do not have central heating.
