Personal comments
It was really hard to understand everything people said to me at the beginning because of different dialect. But I got used to it in a few months and was able to communicate well.
If you want to learn the language, make friends with the locals. Even if you do not understand them at the beginning, you will be able to communicate well at the end.
Use a dictionary to define words that you do not know, especially those words that you hear often. Do not rely on the definitions of the locals.
Make sure you brush up grammar rules in order to start recognizing good and bad grammar structures. University provides reference books in many of its libraries.
If you use dictionary, read grammar books and interact the locals, you should increase your chances to learn the language of the locals.

If you can, live in the center of the city although the uni is far from the centre. As an Erasmus, you don't have much to go to school and it's better to be close to the city than in the middle of nowhere.
