Spanish people are very friendly,always easy to work with them,if they notice that you are from other country they are very ready to help-the like it.Here it´s easy to travel,but hich-hiking is forbiden.Spain is still one of the cheapest country in europe,so you don´t need so much money.You will surely like the nightnife here,it´s unbelivable.

That the course was going to be dominated by Americans resulting in an English speaking environment.

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

Final comments

Oviedo is a great city to study and live but an effort is needed if you wish to get away from an English dominated way of life. Travel: Take advantage of the opportunity to explore this part of Spain. Travel by bus, it´s cheaper than train and actually faster.
