The academic side should take the back seat...the life experience gained on erasmus is worth so much more than any exam can bring you... Tranquillo :)

Personal spending habits
For the amount of things I managed to do (travel,socialize etc) I can say that Huelva is very cheap..I spent alot of money but not a crazy amount..It would not be possible for me to do all that at home because the cost would be too high..but here its perfect!
