Personal comments
The main reason I chose to study in Spain was to become advanced/fluent in the Spanish language. I constantly involved myself in the local community - I joined the Sevilla choir, joined the volunteer program at the university that had previously only been for Spanish students, and primarily spent my free time with Spanish natives.

Personal spending habits
At home I do not live in the city so there is no real nightlife and everything is cheaper in general. I also took advantage of being situated in Europe and traveled a lot to other countries including Morocco, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, England, and France.

Personal comments
Semana Santa and Feria de Abril are two events not to be missed. We traveled to Morocco and did company visits there which was an incredible experience. My favorite cafes are downtown in the Plaza Nueva area but my favorite tapas bar is Gorki in Puerta Jerez.
