Alojamiento
Tipo de alojamiento: En el campus
Organizado por: Universidad de intercambio
Si volviera, eligiría: I would flip a coin. Dorm or House Stay
¿Por qué?
As one could imagine, staying in a dorm of sorts means you are living with others who speak English. Therefore, you may be speaking English with your peers outside the classroom. But, you certainly get to meet a lot of people in the same situation as you are and make friends you will possibly return home with after the program.
On the other hand, staying with a family in Toledo means speaking Spanish a lot more. It would definitely help one's language skills. Also, you would get to see how a family in Spain lives. That alone may be enough reason to do a home stay. But, you would not be spending as much time as you may eventually want to spend with others on the trip you have classes with. Also, staying with a family may mean staying far away from the school and the where everyone hangs out.

Comentario personal
I loved the dorm (it was a 16th century convent made into a dorm). I stayed in a suite where I got my own room and my friend also had his own room. We shared a bathroom. It was great. There were rooms where three people had to share which may have gotten crowded. But, the time spent in the rooms is minimal. The food at the dorm was not the best, but the school tried to give everyone a good food experience. The effort was there.

Go to Kiosko Miradero (enjoy the Malibu y pina). Then head downstairs for a few bars and dance clubs.
The owner of Kiosko Miradero is a great guy who loves helping everyone with their conversational skills.

Valoración global
Si lo hubiera sabido...
I wish I would have thought about all aspects of being abroad. I went to study and did not think of anything else. Luckily I was able to adapt and blend in while in Spain.

Recomendación personal
GO GO GO!!!! The classes are not very difficult and classes are only four days a week so you can travel around Spain three days a week. Although Toledo is small, the nightlife is fine. The nightlife is great if you are only there four days a week. Stay with a family or a dorm, does not matter. Enjoy the Spanish people, food, and culture.

Comentarios finales
Obviously travelling with a friend is great. My first trip outside the U.S. was to Spain is '99 to study. I went with a good friend and shared a suite with him at the dorm. So, I had a built-in friend at the Fundacion. But, if you go alone, you will meet dozens of great people with at least one thing in common - having a new experience in Toledo.

Comentario personal
What is great about Spain with regard to learning Spanish is that not many Spaniards know English. Therefore, you are stuck having to communicate in their language which only helps your spanish language ability in the end.
