Universitat d'Alacant (UA)

People there are kind, they don´t work with efficiency.

My language and communication experience in Alicante is okay, although I would like to interact more with host students, in order to improve and practice my language & communication skills. There isn't much interaction between host students and international students, which is a shame.

I could chose their help, and I can say that Alicante has a great reception for international students, but I made it by myself so I can't say mora than I've done.

Costly to take money out from home Banks, worth the effort to set up a spanish bank account.

I chose to find my accomodation from britain, as I thought this was the most economical option - the other being to go over to spain, stay in a hostal and find somewhere like that - however I didnt know the degree of availablity of student accomodation - which was plentiful - had i known this i would have travelled first and looked when I arrived. By doing it online i was unable to meet the landlord, judge the state of the property or compare it fairly - as a result I paid too much and was not totally satisfied. However the location was fantastic and alot can be said for the accessibility to the city itself and the proximity to public transport

All of the in-house accomodations are hand picked by Armando. This is the best way to really get a feel for the culture and language, and really taught me a lot.
