Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison
Pourquoi?
I'd choose the same, because living with other host country's students helps to improve the language and the knowlodge about the host country's costums.

As I had to search my accomodation for myself, I could choose among various possibilities. In comparison to Germany the costs are considerably lower. I was disappointed by the help offered by the university, because they could only facilitate an incomplete list, written in Valenciano, the second official language of the Comunidad Valenciana.

Discos: Botánico, Jardines. Cafés: Café Flandes, Casa Verde (different), Café Quina (comfortable, very good coffee an cakes). You shouldn't miss the Magdalena festivities in March and the Fallas en Valencia, in March as well. In summer, all nightlife activity takes place in Benicassim, vacations spot at about 14 km; there is a bus service.
As the system is very different to the German system, it depends on the teacher. German and Italian exchange students use to go to the trade-law lessons, because the teachers are very qualified and the Spanish Trade Law is similar.
I don't think there's anything that would have made a difference. I like Castellón very much, although it relatively small city.

Recommandation personnelle
The worst feature is, in my opinion, the Oficina Técnica de Cooperación Internacional, because they do not really help you much. In exam periods, the library becames small (try to get the books you need to study before exam period). I liked the building very much, because it is of recent construction. So, most facilities are new.

If you search accomodation, the PIAC of the Escuela Superior (Ground Floor) offers a list, although it is incomplete and in Valenciano. I were told that the best quarter to live is between Calle Herrero and Avenida Casalduch. There you have a bus going from Ronda Mijares.
Most products and accommodation is much cheaper than in Germany.

Commentaire personnel
Depending on where you buy, products are more or less affordable. The best option to buy is Mercadona or, if you require more variety, Carrefour o Alcampo, but they are a bit more expensive. If you live in a shared appartment, watch out that all pay the same, to prevent that they make you pay more. To open a bank account you have to possess a Número de identificación del extranjero (NIE), to be gotten in the police office (Ronda Magdalena). In certain banks (e.g. Bancaja), the card they give you incorporates the Carnet Jove (paying a bit extra). Having it, you pay less for the cinema and the train, e.g. The train is cheaper (- 20%) if you acquire ida y vuelta.

Commentaire personnel
The Spanish spoken in this part of the country is quite understandable. But almost everything in the University is in Valenciano (the lessons, fortunately, not), for example the main web pages, although in most cases exists a Spanish version. The people, depending on where they come from, do also speak mainly Valenciano. If you know Spanish and French or Italian, it is possible to understand it quite well after a time.
