Universidad de Granada (UGR)

I took a spanish language course in the Centro de Lenguas Modernas which was a great help as i was put in a class with people of a similar level and we revised all the basics. The accent is quite strong down in Granada and can take some time to get used to it but the people are very friendly and patient which is very important.

There is a great bus service to and from Granada linking most major cities so get on a bus and see Spain! Buses also run to the ski slopes during winter and there are regular buses to the coast. Just do, see and experience everything!

There are two main streets for going out on, Calle Pedro Antonio de Alarcon at one end of the city and Calle Elvira at the upper end. Both are full of little bars and during the weeks reps from the bars stand on the streets and give out free drinks vouchers. There aren't too many night clubs but most bars stay open till the wee hours anyway. Granada is quite small so most places are never more than a 15minute walk away. A great night spot is the bull ring - Plaza de Toros - which has great bars and clubs around it. For a quieter evening, i recommend going for tapas, most bars offer them free with your drink and it's a great way to have a cheap dinner! Granada is a great place for fun and night life. Enjoy!

there is no on-campus accomodation as the university is spread all over the city, the many students live in apartments and with a large percentage live in "residencias" which are usually single sex and quite strict. There is no problem finding your own accomodation as all through the summer and most of the year in fact there are notices put up all over the city, on every wall and in every phone box advertising rooms and apartments for rent.
