HousingType of housing: chared flat
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
in a chared flat you are more independent and it is cheaper than campus homes

Personal comments
it seemed quiet difficult to find a nice flat, but in the end the patience paid off - so I suggest to visit at least 5-10 flats before you choose one

Personal spending habits
At first it was quite difficult to find a satisfying meal at a moderate price. I also ran into some financial problems when trying to communicate with my family in the U.S. The nightlife seemed to be a bit cheaper and it was relatively cheap to travel around Spain.
