Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV)

Valencia, famous a couple of years ago for ´la ruta bakalao´ unfortunately lacks in quality clubs. The better clubs like Puzzle and Chocolate are outside of Valencia and you need to get a taxi there and public transport back to Valencia in the morning. Bars, well el barrio del Carmen is really the place to be. Other areas outside of the centre are situated along la avenida Blasco Ibañez, but the fact that all these places are at the bottom of apartment buildings, there really isn´t much outdoor atmosphere, you actually have to go into any given place to see what it´s like. That´s where el barrio del Carmen (el Carme) is great, especially in the warmer months where you can sit in the old streets and watch the people passing by. Probably the most important thing to remember is that no one is out before midnight, and don´t even ...

I only visited the campus accomodation. The meals were included in the rent and the cost works out to be about 4000 pts per day. That´s about $40 Aus. Most of the people i knew there either were there with a scholarship, or had very wealthy parents.

There are, i discovered a LOT of differences between latin american castillian and Spanish Castillian.

The university is quite good overall. When they organise it, there big scale parties are very...entertaining. Other faculties are not the same as the arts, for example you wouldn´t see an engineering student smoking a joint in their caf. I think that a student from a different faculty should also do this survey so that you get a clearer idea about it.
