Don't expect anything, that way you will always be surprised, and have fun. Do not feel inhibited. Speak the language. It is one of the things I miss most.

Personal comments
My friends had mixed feelings about the halls of residence. Some were good (Cedres) others were far away and not very quiet. Try one of the better ones or look for your own accomodation - there are always people looking for flatmates.
