Universidad de Sevilla (US)

One cost saving tip would be to take large amounts (at least a few hundred) euro out of the ATM at a time to avoid the international and bank fees (which added up to about $3-7 each transaction). I would suggest that you do this only if you feel comfortable keeping money around in your home and if you won't spend it all at once. Also, check the currency conversion on the internet before doing it. When I was in Spain, the exchange rate fluctuated pretty regularly and some days I could en up with about 10 euro more per 100.

studying abroad changes the view you have from studies in general as you can compare universities

The Spanish people eat there evening here around 10 o'clock and most of the time in nice and cosy tapas bars. So, first when you go out you eat something at a tapas bars. After that till around 2 or 3 o'clock in the night you go to a bar to drink something and around 3 o'clock the real nightlife starts here. Only in the summer everybody is drinking in the open air within groups and bringing there one drinks. This is called here a bottellon. Nightlife clubs are here a lot and Antique, Orange and Caramelo are the only ones I have seen till now. These are really great and open till 8 in the morning. Unfortunately, I am not studying here from March till July because then in Sevilla and in Andalusia there are the big cultural parties. Example are: Feria of Sevilla, Semana Santa and the Carnaval of Cadiz.
