Universidad de Zaragoza (UZ)

This was my only choice of University to study at but a have no regrets about going there. Zaragoza is a great city full of great people. I felt very much at home there. Take full advantage of what Zaragoza has to offer - too many students complained of there not being anything to do - there is plenty on if you look hard enough!

Ryanair fly directly into Zaragoza from Milan (Bergamo) and London (Stansted)which is inexpensive and good value in my view, watch the weight of your luggage though! It is good to arrive in the city a few weeks before your course starts as you can get used of the place. accommodation is easily found, check the notice boards in the main campus. You can get a good flat for €40 per week. The faculties are spread out all over the city but there is a very efficient and cheap bus network.

Travel tips: It is very easy to get anywhere in Spain and you should do that. It is realy a beautiful country with many different things to do. You can ski for one day in the Pirineos and the other day ly on the beach of San Sebastian. Do not hesitate to visit the countryside with the cheaper prices, more friendlier people and overwhelming tapas! Personal favour spots: Barcelona, Cadiz, Valencia, Sevilla en little villages such as Cuenca.

Avoid if at all possible opening a bank account in Spain as you must pay a fee to open it and they are very expensive to run thereafter. One can withdraw money when in Spain from their home bank account but talk to your local bank beforehand.
