Personal spending habits
The prices in the Czech Republic and Spain differ a lot, first reason is the different currency and the overall pricing in both countries. Also especially some of the services were much more expensive than in Czech Republic. I also travelled a lot to enjoy the country as much as possible and while in Czech Republic we have a lot of discounts for students and very available net of trains all over the country, Spain was another case. But all of it was worth the extra cost.

Personal comments
the supermarket DANI - they had an amazing offer of fresh fruits and vegetables and everything was very cheap.
We also shared meals and cooked together with flatmates and friends, which was a big help.

Course recommendations
Take classes in different facultades. This allows you to cater your schedule to fit your needs and is something only international students can do. Don't take only Spanish Lit classes. There is a lot to learn and many different departments that can meet your needs. Also, the first few weeks no one shows up. Two options. Travel or explore the city.

Personal comments
Don't over do it. You will remember the nights at a cafe more than you will an anthro class. Go to class, but dont take too many classes. Also, you will most likely be in La Facultad de Filosofia y Letras. Its on top of the hill, so make sure your classes are blocked at the same time, so you dont have to go up and down.

Again, the accent was very troubling for me at first. I accomodated, but would have preferred to have heard it ahead of time.

The University of Granada is a very well-organized, clean, and fun place to study. There are people from all over the world, all of whom are more than willing to help out in times of need. The general feeling of support is great.

Spain is the BEST. It's very low-key, slow-paced, very relaxing. People tend to be late. Basically, have a very open mind when you go. There is a ton of stimulus; breathe it in slowly. Don't rush to do anything. It will happen when it happens. Even if dinner happens to be at midnight.

Mi etapa universitaria ha sido de continuo aprendizaje tanto académico como personal. He vivido lejos de casa y he aprendido a resolver y a tratar ciertos temas de la vida con sapiencia. Mis profesores, aunque variados, me han enseñado mucho sobre la materia que imparten.

I wish I had known...
What really to bring and what to leave behind. I also wish I would have known further in advance how many American students I would be going to school with. Also most importantly I wish I woudl have researched Studying in San Sebastian, Spain beforehand. I fell in love with Sna Sebastian and count the seconds until I can visit, work or live there!!

Really research other Universities, Programs, and cities in Spain before choosing Granada merely because it is ''close to the beach and the mountains.''
