Course recommendations
Every semester there is an intensive 1 month spanish course for foreigners.
I really advice people to do it: I met half of my current friends in that course, and I improved my spanish a lot, straight from the beginning.

If you are only looking for a good University with a lot of interaction with the teachers don´t go!!! But if you want to improve/learn spanish, lurn about a new country, experience a fanastic city, meet and study with students from all over the world, GOOO!!! you will never regret it!
