“Overall good but sometimes very ridicolous”
Carlos M
Spain, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2020
Overall
It depends a lot on the professors. usually you learn a lot from the books and the cases, but very little in class. they just keep talking about irrelevant stuff and let you do ridicoulus exercises that make you feel like you are 5 years old. The exams are rather difficult though.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because I lived together with Spaniards which made it a huge experience and nice to learn about their culture.

Personal comments
There was nearly no housing organised, but in this way I found out how the Spanish system works and how Spaniards think.
