Overall
I wish I had known...
In Valladolid, almost everything closes from 2-5 p.m. and I didn't get out of school until 1:30 so sometimes it was difficult to get to a bank. It's better to bring an ATM card also because the machines are open all of the time and there is almost always a fee to cash travelers checks.

Final comments
Be prepared to walk a lot or ride the bus if you live farther from the school. Also, don't worry about getting lost because "Vallesoletanos" are very friendly people so you can just ask someone on the street for directions. Also, the town is not too huge and not too small, so it is possible to learn your way around and it is a safe place.
