Universidad de Alcalá (UAH)

There was a lot on offer, with lists of housing published all around the university. The halls of residence were very far out from the town centre, and were only really useful for accessing the campus. I did not manage to share with any Spaniards, but doing so would have been a huge advantage.

The campus housing is quite expensive and located far from the center and the faculty of economics. I recommend to look for a shared apartment

This was a very good university, in my opinion. The subjects I had chosen gave me the opportunity to work a lot with spanish students and I had to do many presentations in every subjects, so I had to speak spanish in public.

I didn't get the housing I requested at all. In my housing questionnaire I asked to live in a dorm with 8 students, including international students. I wound up living in a three person dorm, with two other students from the University of California. I felt isolated from the Spanish students and felt that my Spanish didn't really improve with respect to more mundane things, only academically. The dorms are also nowhere near the classes and I felt like I wasn't near the local students either. The housing situation could have been much better.

It looked lovely. The only negative point about it was its location with respect to my department.

The housing process went very well for me I was placed with an excallent group of Spanish students and had a very good experience at the residency where we stayed.
