The people that work at the international department in San Pablo CEU should speak better English and try to help out more! Nothing was arranged for in advanced. We had to do everything ourselves: Finding a place to stay, arranging classes and talk to professors, ...

Final comments
Do not try to understand everthing immediately, don't get frustated in the beginning when you don't understand people. Do not start studying in the first months, spend time exploring the country and its culture, meet and go out with locals and erasmusstudents... You will learn so much more and before you know you will be fluent and will be able to finally study in Spanish. Copy notes from a smart spanish student and ask help from your professors if needed. Always go to all the classes, you will learn a lot and they appreciate it if you at least show interest and are motivated to learn!

Course recommendations
All courses are in Spanish, so if you want to participate or get to know your fellow students, you need to know the language pretty well.

Not not really, because you never know what will come. I just wanted more help fidning a place to stay, because that was not that easy. Also arrangements of residences and working permits can be arranged a lot faster. Now I recieved it in February, so before I couldn't even look for a job, and after that, so it was too late allready.

I really enjoyed my stay and studies abroad. Just do whatever you can and enjoy your time, because it will be a lot different than your normal life.
Look for somebody who can helo you finding a place, because that is not that easy if more people are looking for a place to stay.
