The most important thing, even more than studying in the host country, is making friends with the local people of your age. This is the only way you'll have fun and learn the language at the same time

Granada University has experience with international students and has a rich variety of studies in many fields. Granada itself has a fantastic cultural heritage, student life and superb location as it is only 45 minutes by bus from the Sierra Nevada mountains and less than 2 hours by bus from the coast.

Do some reasearch first about the city, the university and the language. Check out the internet, speak with people with experience, read brochures from the embassy and travel agents. Learn as much of the language before you go! Do all this and you'll have a good time!

“A window to the world”

Overall
My home university, although doing better in recent rankings, is not very renowned internationally. However, thanks to the Erasmus and the bilateral programs I have managed to do 4 different exchanges around the world where I have been able to study many of my courses and learn key languages for me.
Nevertheless, my uni has very good professors with deep international experience and many of them are really inspiring and motivating.
From a European perspective, my home institution is definitely a window to the world for the chances it provides generally but also because it is a direct link to the Latin American countries with which it has lots of partnerships thanks to the common language and history. A comparative advantage worth having in the Old Continent.

If you go to Universidad de Granada, you must travel to every city of Andalucia, they're precious! Don't worry about accomodation, it's quite easy to find a pleasant room there.

That for those students who feel uncomfortable about the idea that most socializing revolves around drinking, there are many other setting in which you will meet people and get to know them. You have no real problems saying, no thank you when someone offers you alcohol.

Go, enjoy Granada and explore Spain. Go for the life experience with the excuse that you are studying. Go to class, but dont make school the dominant part of your life there.

Find a good place to live in the beginning and make sure you write up an agreement and have the other people sign it. Get a cell phone. And if you can, live with a couple spanish speakers. Also, there are many opportunities to do service and it is a great way to pick up the language. Also, if you can find some group, be it a chior or a music group, you will have a great time and meet spanish students. Its best to join their organizations because that is the way to meet people who are just going on with there regular lives. Have fun and celebrate Granada for me.

I wish I had more information about the Univerity in general and the couses I could do. I didn't know anithing when I arrived in granada, because my University didn't tell me about it. I discovered there that there werw two semesters, courses of six and nine cfu, not exactly as in Italy, anf things like that. there'a a lot of burocracy before and after the erasmus.

It's not a very big Univerity, but for this reason is well organized and at the same time the Uni. and in the city there are great cultural events. The same course is done once in the morning and once in the evening.
