“Studies in Spain and Ireland”

Spain, Undergraduate
Engineering, 2020
OverallI am grateful to have seen two different types of education. Ireland education is more practical, they want you to learn by your own, they don't teach you something they want you to discover it.

Personal comments
Don't get depressed if you don't understand everything in your first couple of classes or when talking to the locals; Spanish people tend to talk very fast. After a couple of weeks you will get along without a problem, if you make sure that you stay in contact with the Spanish. (Therefore, moving into shared housing with students who speak your first language, would not be a good idea!)
