It is worth going on trips organized by the university. The university campus is a bit outside Alicante where you can also find accomodation but it is worth living in the city centre(there is a beach, great nightlife and lots of people). The university and all the people there are very helpful and supportive in any case or problem.

“Universidad de alicante ADE”

Overall
Muy buen campus universitario, destaca la calidad de los profesores que están a tiempo parcial por ejercer otra profesión, desde mi experiencia personal, los mejores de la carrera. Buenas instalaciones en cuanto a biblioteca, aulas, gimnasio y cafeterías. Durante la carrera se abusa de la teoría y los estudiantes apenas salen de las aulas a trabajar con el problemas del mundo real.

Personal spending habits
Food in Alicante was extremely cheap. The telephone obviously adds up when you are making calls cross continental instead of within the same country. Accomodation is unbelievably cheap if you go through the university. But, I recommend not going through a program if you want to save money. My friends who went through a program are spending $5,000 more than I because I applied directly. The reason I am spending more on travel is because I choose to travel to other countries and cities in Spain on the weekends. Overall, Spain is quite cheap and it will be difficult to go back to the states and pay the prices that we seem to be stuck with there.

Personal comments
The nightlife in Alicante is much more than had been first anticipated. The size of the city in comparison to the insane nightlife do not match up. Everyone goes out to El Barrio around 12 midnight. El Barrio consists of over 150 bars in approximately a 5 block radius. After El Barrio, everyone heads to El Puerto, the port which is right on the meditteranean. This usually happens between 4-5 in the morning. You end up going home around 7 in the morning. I would say that would constitute an incredible nightlife. My favorite clubs/bars include Astronomo, El Misión, and Mulligan´s.
And now for comida, a wonderful, wonderful mexican restaurant is Cactus. I recommend the chicken fajitas and the strawberry margaritas, guaranteed to be the best you´ve ever had. I hate superlatives, but it is no lie. A wonderful place to grab some tapas is Lezarron. Amazing and ladies there are some cute waiters there.
