Personal comments
You are on your own when it comes down to housing, but it is not that hard to find an appartment in Valencia, there is a lot of demand for flat-sharing.

Personal comments
There are several night-life spots in Valencia and a lot of typical Spanish cafes.
If you go to Valencia, you should have a look at disco La Indiana, and at the night-life street called El Carmen.
