Personal comments

The school did not help set up housing for us, so upon arrival we were obligated to go look for a place ourselves. But I would recommend doing the same because once you arrive there are many postings listed all over the campus, the city and on the internet for apartments for rent, probably because there are so many international students coming in and out. There is a good company that helps you with looking for an apartment if you still feel stuck and the website/email is called roomatesevilla.com

Overall

I wish I had known...

I recommend international experiences for all American students. While programs tend to be expensive, look into state university programs -- then tend to be cheaper and allow you to take classes at a host university rather than an American center or institute.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

Final comments

Go study abroad for an academic year. 3-4 months is not enough time to get acculturated to your new environment. Once you do become more accostomed to living in another country and culture, it's time for you to leave. A year, while it may seem like a long time, is a more worthwhile investment for you and your growth.

“Gratificante, pero falta de foco”

Overall

En mi caso aprendí mucho contenido teórico y gracias a los profesores jóvenes, cuestiones prácticas que se aplican a diario en el sector; pero de nada sirve estudiar carreras así si no las van hilando y firmas convenios con la universidad, porque tener el grado no te da trabajo.

Pros

Profesores y compañeros

Cons

Personal spending habits

Mobile phones were more expensive only because i had to use pre-paid. But if you get vodafone, you can get some pretty good prices. if you join the Q Tal group with your friends, it will cost you 6 cents to call and text everyone in the group. i also came with dollars and the dollar was not doing so well this year. So the exchange rate was unfavoralbe for some things.

Telephone:

was more expensive than at home.

Housing:

was the same price as at home.

Travel, Overall, Food, Nightlife:

was less expensive than at home.

Personal comments

If you are coming from the states, to avoid ATM charges open a Citibank account before you come and you can take money out for free. Fees can be as high as $25 per transaction!
