I spent more in Spain because it was Spain. My attitude was "when will I ever get the chance to come back here again?"

My best advice would be to SAVE your money. That was my problem. I did not know how to save. Once you go to the ATM and find out you have no money left and your only into a month of your study abroad then you have a problem. Don't waste your money on drinking or clubs or even shopping because your going to regret it at the end. Try to save your money to TRAVEL. Don't forget that France and Italy is literally right next door. Go there.

Comentario personal
Before Spain, I did not know a work of spanish. Of couse I have heard it before, but could not understand or speak a word of it. It was struggle the first couple of months getting adjusted to the language and going out in the city or asking people for directions. But the more I went to spanish class, and listened to the language everyday, I picked up some key phrases. Now back in the States, when I hear people speaking spanish, I can almost fully understand them. Also, I watch a lot of Spanish TV at home and it helps a lot as well.

Si lo hubiera sabido...
The only thing I wished before going was to bring more clothes. I literally wore the same thing each week. It sucked. Other then that, no.

Comentarios finales
I had the best four months of my life. I recommend this program for any college student who wants a change of scenery and wants to learn a new language, travel, or see some different in their life. Life is too short to stay in the same place. Go out and enjoy a new environment. Be careful not being a victim of vandalism. Watch your stuff and keep your American attitudes in America. Blend in with the Spanish people and have fun.

Recomendaciones de cursos
If you want to learn about Spanish culture and history either take History of Spain with Shaw or Spanish Cultural Studies with Paco. You will get so much out of either class. Even though they give massive amount of work to do, especially Paco's class, its all worth it at the end. Also, if you want to learn Spanish, take a lot of spanish classes as well.

I think there should be more of a community between the international students and the american students. the american students tended to stay within there own and the international students as well. I would say an exchange program within the two groups should be created.

My favorite night spots were the bars called O'Connels and the other one called O'Neils. Great pints of beer at a great price. I loved the night club Kapital. The restaurants are pretty cool. Don't miss out on the little tapas bars. Cafe y TE is a great cafe to hang out, smoke, study, or just meet other people.

Alojamiento
Tipo de alojamiento: Dormitory
Organizado por: Universidad de intercambio
Si volviera, eligiría: Dormitory
¿Por qué?
I loved the dormitory because I got to live with some pretty good people. I loved that I got my room cleaned once a week and my laundry done. Also, I love the location cause its in the middle of the city where there is a shopping center, cinemas, clubs and bars. What more could you ask for.

The accomidation was pretty good. The only thing that could change are the ridiculous rules they make you sign before you move into your place. Less rules would lesson the complaints.
