Personal comments
I found that the dialect in Sevilla was a little difficult to crack at first, because the people speak so quickly. But I had lived in other foreign language environments before (living/working in Paris) so I didn't find it too disorientating! The spaniards are REALLY friendly and make a
great effort in easing any difficulties you may have while trying to communicate with them. This is very rewarding.

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
If you stay on campus for the full academic year (not like the 5 months I completed), you have a much wider range of subjects available to you to study. If I found something for improvement, it's that the computer/internet to student ratio should be increased. Coming from a very well equipped uni in Ireland, Seville's facilities seemed lacking.

Personal comments
Club Catedral on Calle del Rosario is
really good for a night out, as is
Apandau, near the main uni bulding. Generally though, Sevilla has excellent
nightlife and something for everybody.
