Personal comments
I had a great apartment, everything quite new and clean. Maybe the landlord could have been better, and there was also a lot of noise (I was in Calle Recaredo, a street with very much traffic and... AMBULANCES!), but it was only 5 to 10 minutes away from the centre, and just very nice to live in.

Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
I believe that my Spanish speaking skills improved vastly because of the interaction that I had on a daily basis with my family. The classroom learning focused more on listening and writing, but I feel that speaking is crucial as well. I also learned a great deal more about the culture and lifestyle of Spain by living with a family.

I really enjoyed living with a host family, but the next time studying or living abroad I would like to share an apartment/house with people who are the same age as myself.

It was a wonderful experience living with a host family during my stay in Spain. I was able to be immersed in the culture of Spain.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: I would live in an apartment with spanish students
Why?
This would give me the optimum opportunity to speak spanish as well as become familiar with students my age in a different country. I enjoyed my time where I lived but I told myself while I was still there that if I came back that is what I would do.

I believe one has to deal with less problems if s/he is living on his or her own instead of with a family.

This university was very good. Sometimes there were delays with grading, but in the end, grades were posted and every faculty member I came in contact with was very helpful.

You are independent, you can choose your roommates, the location and many other things.. but the most important thing is... you live with native speaker and in their cultural surroundings.. you are involved in the living and the culture, it's the best way to improve,learn,study .. to train the foreign language abroad!

I found my residence in the Internet.. she was a spanish girl, from Sevilla, so I liked this aspect.. she introduced me in her city and country.. I was introduced in her life..with her friends and family.. that was great! It was a room in a flat (in HER flat.. that was the only disadvantage.. she was the "boss"!!) and we lived together with her boyfriend.. the flat was quite big and comfortable.. very clean!! we had all... kitchen+equipment,washing machine,oven,microwave,... 2!!bathrooms,so I had one for myself :) that was perfect.. my room was small but it was enough. I made a mistake at the beginning, I wouldn't do this once again.. I didn't have a contract with her.. a written one!! THAT'S IMPORTANT!
