Personal comments
They offer host families, who do the bare minimum to make your stay nice. Often times they refuse to feed you fruit, and the portions are very small. In university apartments its usually 4 bedrooms with 8 students and 2 bathrooms. Living conditions are very crowded so its better to rent your own apartment. It will be cheaper too!

Personal comments
In sol there were lots of bars and clubs. However, it was nice to avoid the touristy parts and go to the true spanish clubs. Everyone must go to the south of Spain.

Course recommendations
The teachers are very friendly, but the classes are a joke. Very easy and lots of busy work. Also, it is almost impossible to meet a Spaniard at this school.
