The experience was beneficial - it taught me what to look for, how to look for it and to be open minded about flat shares and choices. Also moved in with other students so had instant friends network!

I chose to find my accomodation from britain, as I thought this was the most economical option - the other being to go over to spain, stay in a hostal and find somewhere like that - however I didnt know the degree of availablity of student accomodation - which was plentiful - had i known this i would have travelled first and looked when I arrived. By doing it online i was unable to meet the landlord, judge the state of the property or compare it fairly - as a result I paid too much and was not totally satisfied. However the location was fantastic and alot can be said for the accessibility to the city itself and the proximity to public transport

Personal comments
I lived in an apartment with a Spanish family and ate all my meals with them. They helped me with my spanish and made me feel very comfortable conversing in a different language. I am very thankful for this opportunity because I was able to learn more about Spanish history, traditions, and lifestyle while improving my Spanish.

I enjoyed the freedom of living in an apartment along with meeting other international students. I lived with two girls from Barcelona and a boy from Germany. It was a wonderful experience to live with folks from other countries.

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It's a choice of independence. I liked I could decide what to do in every moment and because with my house mates we developed a beautiful relationship, we're still in touch although they live in spain and Portugal.

I could chose their help, and I can say that Alicante has a great reception for international students, but I made it by myself so I can't say mora than I've done.

If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
I would never have had as amazing of an experience abroad without my host family. Through them I not only learned the local culture and language, but made friends, and really felt like I had a home away from home.

All of the in-house accomodations are hand picked by Armando. This is the best way to really get a feel for the culture and language, and really taught me a lot.
