Some courses could have been more challenging. But for me it was already some challenge, because all of it was in Spanish.

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I chose to live in an apartment with other international students because I wanted to be able to practice my Spanish on an everyday basis and to experience other cultures. Through my apartment experience I achieved both of these goals. My Spanish improved a lot more than if I would have been living with English speaking people and I learned so much about other cultures. I would not trade this experience for the world and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Like I said, I received exactly the experience that I was looking for through my accomodations so I could not have been happier.

I wish I would have known how big the culture shock was going to be at first and I definitely wish that my Spanish would have been better before I left.

Final comments
I would tell people who were going to be studying abroad to just try and relax and take it all in, and to try and not worry about the little things. I would tell them to get to know the international and local students and try to soak up their cultures as much as possible. I would also suggest getting travel tips from other international students that have already traveled through Europe.

Why?
The main residence hall was located close to campus but far from the rest of the city. For the money, an apartment is much cheaper and a much more authentic living environment. Dealing with everyday living, like grocery shopping or ordering butane tanks, can be a challenge at times, but only help improve language and adaptability skills.

The apartment was beautiful, completely furnished, including a TV, dishes, pots, pans, even towels! For the price it was excellent. The housing company we dealt with, Blau Housing, was very helpful and professional. I would rent from them again.

Personal comments
The first few weeks of class were hard. After about a month I began to understand much more in my classes. There were a lot of students from my home university there, so I was surrounded by english-speaking people too often which hindered my spanish progress for a while.
