Personal comments
They have an international office which should help you to find an appartment. -You end up with searching on your own because they put you in an appartment with other erasmus that don´t speak spanish as well

Course recommendations
They don't tend to offer ERASMUS courses so we did an extra course in Spanish grammar for foreign students which helped us improve and meet other ERASMUS students.

Personal spending habits
Well, I didn't even have a cell phone, so I relied on phone cards. Everything else was either the same or more. I paid much less to travel than I would have in America, though. I ended up spending more on Nightlife simply because I was out more than I am in my hometown.

Personal comments
My grammer professor taught us very well. He did some amazing work with the subjunctive form, but more incrediblely, he ended up teaching us all the swear words possible by the simple use of them in nearly every sentence. I enjoyed the Spanish day in and day out, and vastly improved.
