Pourquoi?
I started out living in a residence hall on campus (which is 20 mn. from town). After begging for 2 months to be changed from the residence to an apartment with native Spanish speakes, I know for a fact that I would choose to live in an apartment in the city if I had to do it all over again.

Commentaire personnel
It was very difficult to be moved from the residence hall to an apartment. The staff wasn't to enthusiastic about helping me until my university in the states got involved.

Commentaire personnel
Everyone knows that Spaniards party like nobody else. You can always find something to do on Friday or Saturday night. The locals all seem to crowd Churruca, which is a street full of bars near the city center. Also, the cultural center usually has some kind of play, concert or exhibit weekly. You should definitely get involved with this part of the Spanish culture. You can pick up a schedule of events at any Caixa Nova bank.

Si j'avais su
I always knew that Spaniards were layed back. Yet when I arrived, it still suprised me with the "mañana, mañana" attitude. You can't expect for things to happen incredibly fast here. It usually takes awhile and always takes a lot of persistence on your part.

Recommandation personnelle
The University of Vigo is under a lot of construction. I feel that in 5 years it will be a wonderful place to study. As of right now, I don't think they are fully prepared to handle exchange students. So, if you are looking for a program within the next five years, I would suggest looking into different locations. Also, this area can be frustrating since there is a lot of Gallego spoken. Madrid would have been my first choice.

I suggest that you make lots of international friends while you are here!! That way you have free lodging if you are able to travel throughout Europe. Be outgoing and throw yourself into different situations. I am taking a dance class... I may have two left feet and be the worst at the rumba in the class, but it is fun. Don't sit and wait for things to happen to you... Jump in!

I don't feel at this moment I can give a fair assesment of the courses here in Vigo. Right now there is a national strike throughout Spain with all of the Universities. Classes haven't been held in around 3 weeks.

Commentaire personnel
At times the opportunities to speak in Spanish at the University of Vigo were scarce. This is because so many of the Erasmus students spoke English also. It is easy to rely on English rather than to put yourself in an uncomfortable situation. Also, the fact that Vigo is in Galcia needs to be addressed. Many people speak Gallego and all of the University materials are printed in it. When choosing your classes, you must be sure to get classes instructed in Spanish.

Dépenses habituelles
When at home, I don't travel as much. Therefore I don't spend as much. Also in Spain, it is very expensive to have a phone connection in your apartment, hence I had to purchase a cell phone. Overall it is difficult for me to comment on the expenses because of the nature of the ISEP program. I payed a lump sum up front.

Commentaire personnel
In Spain you need pictures of yourself for everything. Wait until you get here to buy them. It seems that every mom and pop store can take your picture for a reasonable price.
