Overall
Por mi experiencia, la UPV es sin lugar a dudas una de las universidades más importantes y modernas de España, que cuenta con un extenso campus multi-cultural donde el alumno puede gozar de su tiempo libre realizando actividades deportivas variadas o en sus bares-restaurantes, aulas de estudio, centros de investigación...
En el grado de Ingeniería Mecánica (240 cred.) se aprenden durante cuatro años distintas materias generales y de especialidad que harán evolucionar al alumno, que finalmente será capaz de poner a prueba sus conocimientos en la gran cantidad de actividades externas que ofrecen los distintos mecanismos de la universidad, dedicados al emprendimiento o a la formación del alumnado en distintas ramas. Tras finalizar los estudios, la universidad ofrece una gran cantidad de másteres y títulos post-grado, así como servicios integrales de empleo que ayudan al recién graduado a elegir un camino para lograr cumplir eficazmente los planes de futuro.

Personal spending habits
Food in Spain is a bit cheaper than in Finland and at times we ate out which is about the same as in Finland. Phone costs were a lot higher than in Finland ( do not make phonecalls, send SMS, sim card costs quite a lot). I paid about 190€/ month for living including all the expenses (gas, electricity, water). When going out I realised Finland is more expensive but some bars in here might have an entrance fee of about 12€ (inlc. one free drink). I spent a lot of time for travelling as it is so cheap to fly to other European countries from heer and also the train in Spain is not very expensive (shorter distancies).

Personal comments
Use Vueling for travelling...I recommend renting a car if u r planning a trip to Andalucia. We did a five day trip to Andalucia by car and enjoyed it a LOT!! I used the metro in Valencia most of the time (5,60/10 trips) and to the uni I went by bike which I bought from here (from Mestalla u can buy used ones, or new ones from Alcampo).

Overall
The UPV is one of the best Uniiversities in its range in Spain with a a high level, great infrastructure and renowned teachers. The University constantly supports students with a very powerful student delegation.During my stay I was anchore to very demanding final exams that left aside the student´s annual progression but I am aware that currently, wth the european plans, this has been improved. Despite the demand and effort required, it is an experience that I would recommend.
