Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV)

Best Bar: Camelot and Metro Best Club: Bacarra, pretty shite music but good if you´re pissed and looking for snack at 8.00 o´clock in the morning

The appartments were o.k. A bit cold in Winter because there is no central heating but a sleeping bag or a little heating fan does it aswell.

At first it was hard. But I got to know a lot of local people and started speaking with them. I didn´t go to a language course because they didn´t offer a basic level course. I started learning from a book and by talking and going out and drinking. The best Tutor is Beer. No kidding!

To eat the best thing is to go to the cafeteria. You can get a Bocadillo and a drink for 1.20€ or a full 3 course meal for round about 4€. For cash I would suggest you dispense it two or three times a month in a lump sum to save on transaction fees.

The University of Gandia is situated about 60km away from Valencia. Getting to Valencia isn´t a big problem. Train once an hour and takes about 45min. To get around Gandia and surroundings, especially for Travel reasons I recommend that you bring a car. The University in Gandia is also situated at the beach, so don´t expect big city life. It´s rather quiet in winter.. The Bar Zone there is amazing: about 30 Bars, one after the other, no entry fees and the drink is cheap (copa: 4€, cerveza: 2€)
