Go there! Cool city. Friendly students. Good teachers. Relaxed life. A beach, surfing possibilities, mountains with snow. Fun nightlife.

Try to make friends with students from other countries. Don't hang with students from your home country. Find Spanish and Latinamericans friends to really learn Spanish. Have fun! Go out at night. Especially in the beginning. That's when you get to know most people.

“Demanding studies but worth the effort”
Miguel D
Spain, Graduate
Engineering, 2021
Overall
In general, teachers are good and nice with the students. In my opinion, the courses are usually interesting, so for me, you don't need to do much effort to follow the classes.
However, I needed to spent much time studying to asimilate what you learn.
The campus is ok and close to the sea. The city is beautiful, maybe a bit boring but ok.

Santander is fantastic because of the ocean, you'll love it. But University life is quite hard, forget to receive any special treatment from teachers. You're not different from local students, if you have some problem they just don't care.
