Recommandations de cours

Don't rely on your home university to have arranged everything before you get there. Tutors won't necessarily be aware that your exchange programme exists: don't expect them to be cooperative.

Standard of living was cheaper in spain than in England (despite the poor exchange rate at the time.) Spent more money on international calls keeping in touch with friends/family. Occasionally spent money on taxis locally otherwise travel cost were on international flight and long national journeys to other cities. Spent A LOT of money on nightlife but still cheaper than in UK.

Commentaire personnel

Getting a telephone installed in Spain is extremely expensive compared to the UK. Travel by train is often cheaper than by coach but because of the rail network design journeys will often take a surprisingly long time.

Commentaire personnel

Because we usually mixed with other Erasmus students rather than local students: meant that we would often copy each others' mistakes in Spanish, errors would go uncorrected. Ultimately, I learnt more Spanish working in Spain the year after I graduated.

Si j'avais su

During the summer Valladolid was like a ghost town. I was surprised by the change when people returned from their summer holidays.

Recommandation personnelle

The university is very traditional in its teaching methods (very little interaction between teachers-students: teachers teach, students learn.) Recieved very little help from the university during our time there. The registration process was more complicated adn less well organised than in the UK and that wasn't only because it was in a foreign language.

Valladolid isn't necessarily the prettiest of places in Spain but there's a lot going on and a very good nightlife. It's only a couple of hours' by coach/train from Madrid and half that from Salamanca, which has the night life of Valladolid but is a lovely place to visit anyway. Valladolid could also sometimes seem a bit stuffy and traditional but there is a counter-culture.

Commentaire personnel

No experience of university halls of residence. As I understood it, it was more expensive than finding private accomodation, although this did include meals.
