Try to interact with locals! I got lucky as I lived with a Spanish girl who was my age and became friends with all of her friends...this really helps you with your academic work as well as you begain to REALLY understand the language

In my courses the teachers didnt help out the international students much and you were expected to listen to lectures and know everything without being given notes. was quite difficult

Personal comments
there is no specific place that could be described to be the best one. spanish people "move", especially as salamanca is such a small town. but you should really try the traditional way of going out (ir por tapas/ pinchos) in Calle VanDick. be prepared for a hole night (til 6:00), not eurlier than 23:00
