Well Malaespina is a bar not to be missed, however, they changed the dj recently so it´s not as good. Always start off in plaza Cañadio with the erasmus people and you know you have had a big night out if you end up at BNS (Buenas noches Santander).

Course recommendations
Be careful if you are taking courses in what is not your native language, I ended up with some that I chose because they looked easy enough for an exchange student and ended up board... you have to challenge yourself!

Thursdays at Malaspina or BNS, but also Terminal Sur and Floridita for nice fresh drinks and Rubicon for the atmosphere any day of the week. Go to plaza cañadio on your way out on town, have a caña and mingle a bit if the weather is nice.

Personal comments
it is possible to obtain something through the university, but it is better to choose something yourself as you can choose with whom you want to live (for example local people).
