Personal spending habits
In general, I perceived everything was more expensive but gas and certain american brands that I buy import in Spain. Nightlife and going to the movies is ridiculous, far too expensive for european standards. My appartment was expensive too, but that's what it takes to be so close to campus. I think that if I had had a car to move around in an easier way, I would have eventually saved a bit more.

People should not be afraid of making a bad choice. The university lets you change, drop, etc very easily in what I understand is a great asset from an international student's point of view!

I was at first a bit surprised about the distances one has to stroll between the professor's offices, no matter they're from the same department.

Course recommendations
Do not take too many courses if you go during the summer term unless you want to spend all the time in the library or computer lab.
