Universidad de León (UL)

Try to travel as much as you can. Leon is quite central to most cities like Madrid (4 1/2 hours), Oviedo, (Gijon and Santander for the beach). Medical services are painfully slow, so if you are likely to be ill, make sure you have private insurance.

Every region (autonomia) in Spain is wonderful, if you have just little money to visit Madrid, Sevilla, Gijon, Barcelona, Oviedo, Cordoba (for the few cities I have visited), do not hesitate to do so, you definetly won't regret

Try to go their by car if you can, it's much more easy to travel in the area, to go to portugal or even the rest of spain. I was disapointed by the spanish in general as they see forein students as weird people, it s a small town in the middle of spain it s not a capital city used to see people from everywhere but in general people are nice. I just loved they way of partying until very late 6 or 7 in the morning!!

I feel that the four months I spent in Spain gave me a golden opportunity to see a diverse country and to learn about cultures from many different countries. I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in going beyond the borders of their home country.
