Personal comments
Though I spent a lot of money, I did not go over my budget. I would advise to plan a budget and stick to it. Eat at home and then go out so you won`t feel pressed to buy food.

Don`t just take classes offered in the main university. The University of Sevilla offers many classes offered in other parts of town that are more specific. Try those out! They are usually more interesting.

Personal comments
I liked hanging out with a close group of friends. Things people did were go out (always things to do in spots behind the Cathedral). Also, hanging out in the bars on calle Betis that goes down the river. There is always something to do because people are always out in the streets.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
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.
