Overall
I wish I had known...
The Only thing I knew before arriving to Spain was that it was a lot cheaper than Buenos Aires.
All the other facts were completely unknown.

Personal comments
I think it would be better if you can share more sports activities with other local students, not much with other Erasmus students.
The host University has to do that motivation more frecuently, by the organization of special tournaments of any sport.

Personal comments
The university was proposing some adresses of flat or house that could be rented. Though, the number of adress was a bit reduced in comparaison with the number of students. But it was not so difficult to find an accomodation because we could read advertisement everywhere in town, in bus stops, on the walls...

Languages
Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish

Personal comments
Learning a language in the host country is the best way to learn. I also took a Spanish language course during my time there at a private college which helped me more with the grammatical aspects. In general, I learned most of my spanish from socialising with other Spanish students and interacting with them and not as much in class.

Why?
Independence, your own spot and right in the center of Cordoba. I don´t mind sharing the appartment with others as long as I don´t have to share my room with a stranger.
