Personal comments
I do believe that having the opportunity of both improving my English skills and learning a second language (Spanish) made Esade an amazing learning experience. Besides, I strongly recommend to share an apartment with locals so that you can get the most out of your stay in Spain while you still have the chance to practice English with your colleagues.

HousingType of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because it is the best combination since I can get integrated into the culture of a country by living with locals. Moreover, I have the independence to live on my own.

Unfortunately, my host university did not provide neither housing nor assistance with finding housing. I had to do it all on my own -- looking at apartments and choosing the best one.
