Personal comments
I am very happy living in my 2 bedroom apartment which I am sharing with another student who is also an English speaker. The apartment is very spacious and makes living here very comfortable. The are in where I live is just 5 minutes walk from the main centre and about 10/15 minutes walking distance from the main bus and train station. University is slightly outside Alicante but the bus takes you straight to the door and takes a good 20 minutes each way.

Personal comments
The lectures and support were all in spanish and my progress was notable in a short period of time - my understanding improved dramatically although i still had problems with responding in some situations - this was more a confidence issue than ability! On reflection I would just jump in with both feet - make the mistakes and be corrected!

if you can do a first year option do introduction to marketing with felipe ruiz moreno - an excellent lecturer - quite young and quite fit!! Very helpful!

Personal comments
If you can at the beginning of the course go and see the lecturer about doing a 'paper' that can count towards your end result - this alleviates some of the pressure of the final exam!

Personal spending habits
At home I lived with my parents, so accomodation and food for 'free'. Telephone because I had to stay in contact with friends etc. Nightlife because I travelled within Spain to see some more than only Alicante. Nightlife, was cheaper because the prices are lower in Spain, although I partied more than I would do at my home University.

“Máster en estudios literarios”

Overall
Tuve la oportunidad de aprender de la mano de profesores expertos y apasionados. Había variedad de temas y buenas optativas y la carga de trabajos no era excesiva. Realizamos incluso una salida de campo en la que aprendimos sobre restauración de libros y visitamos ruinas romanas. Creo que el máster, aunque corto, ofrece una formación decente y permite explorar un poco de todo.
