Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living with Spanish students in an apartment (no houses really in Sevilla) is the best way to go: leanr spanish, make friends, and still have the freedom to come and go and have others over whne you want.

Personal comments
The university offered both dorm style and regular apartments for students. Prices were comparable to the U.S., but they include food as well. I lived independetly in a private apartment with Spanish students, which I gathered was far better way to go: more freedom, not single sex (dorms are), and ability to cook own food whenever.

Course recommendations
All the courses that I took were of high quality, and I think if your Spanish is good enough, take classes with Spaniards, which is a great experience. UPO allows you to take any class you want, in and out of the program. THe variety and freedom is incrediable, if you have the discipline.

Personal comments
It is very good here. The program is in its first year, but they are open to all kinds of input and changes. Exams always suck, but they help you learn and overall the classes were not that difficult.

Buena experiencia, buenos profesores y buen ambiente de clase al tener clases reducidas (al menos en Traducción francés, éramos unos 15-20). Tuve la suerte de poder realizar tres intercambios y esta universidad es la que tiene mayor nivel de todas.

Personal spending habits
Food and housing were included in my initial costs for the program. I did not use the telephone nearly as much as I do at home therefore costs were lower. Finally, travel was more expensive because I traveled much more than I would have at home.

Personal comments
If you plan to travel a lot it will save you money to buy a Eurail pass. As well, for filling but cheap food there are low-cost tapas and bocadillas.
