Personal comments
It was a nice change to see how Spanish students take exams and are assessed differently than in the U.S. I liked that we were assesses as spanish students would be assessed since we were in their country.

Course recommendations
Talk to the teachers and explain that you're erasmus, they will help you choose the modules best suited to your career, and help you with any initial problems with the language.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I lived in a spacious flat with a great seaview just at a 3kms beach, what more can I say...
I stayed with another Erasmus-student (2nd year) and we were from different countries, it was great, but I would have preferred living with Spaniards

The international office may help you with phone numbers to people subletting rooms/flats. It is no guarantee, but it helps a lot.

Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
Since there were virtually no Dutch people communication in Spanish was necessary. With or without preparation, Spanish is an easy languag to learn, although academic Spanish is something else than talking about football in a bar.

Nice city, friendly people and not to many (English) speaking foreigners, so there are enough opportunities to learn Spanish.
