Personal comments
Even though the university offers a supposedly free 3 week course (you actually have to pay about 50 euros for some books you never use) it's worth signing up with the escuela oficial de idiomas (http://centros6.pntic.mec.es/eoi.de.salamanca)- they do semester long spanish courses, 2 hours a day each weekday for just 60 euros! Peanuts!

Everybody from around the world had the best experience of thier life. Lots of people left Salamanca with tears in the eyes. So if you get a chance to go on a exchange, grab it with two hands. You won't regret it!

Expenses
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
Family
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
Spain is sooo much cheaper then the UK. Anyone would spend less money here, even if you blow a lot on travelling. Forget about getting a part time job though- you'll be underpaid and treated like #$&($!

Personal comments
Find out if your current bank (at home) has any kind of agreement with any spanish banks- for example for german students with deutchbank were able to take out money from their home accounts for no extra cost

La peor universidad de España.
Pedro A
Spain, Undergraduate
, 2022
Overall
Si bien la universidad es la más antigua EN FUNCIONAMIENTO (pues nunca hay que olvidar a los Estudios Generales de Palencia), en eso, me temo, se ha quedado el prestigio de tal institución académica donde personajes ilustres como Miguel de Unamuno o Miguel de Cervantes residieron alguna vez: en historia. 

Una de las cosas que más me ha chocado como estudiante y que todavía me parece vergonzoso es que los trabajos tanto de final de grado como de máster deban hacerse presencialmente cuando en el siglo XX1 impera la era de la tecnología y la digitalización. 

En cuanto a profesorado, podrá ser todo lo reconocido que uno quiera, pero si hubiera de hacerse un examen de "humanidad", es decir, de cómo es la relación entre el profesor y el estudiante universitario, me parece que 1 de cada 10 aprobaría y eso arriesgándome mucho. 

Se centran y empeñan más en que se hagan las cosas como ellos quieren, en que los alumnos actúen como trabajadores de la empresa a la que pertenecen y de la cual ellos se creen los jefes, que en que realmente aprendamos algo. Por supuesto, no todos son así, pero el 75% ha olvidado qué es ser alumno y tan sólo les importa el maldito test docente de evaluación que nunca olvidan en recordar cada tanto, hasta llegar a interrumpir horario laboral para obligarte a hacerlo. 

Siempre había escuchado muy buena reputación en cuanto a lo relacionado con lo literario y quise probar mi experiencia aquí como filólogo y escritor que soy, pero en mi no tan humilde opinión, lamento profundamente haber tomado esta decisión y ojalá me hubiese quedado en Valencia. 

Personalmente , no recomendaría esta universidad ni a mis peores enemigos.
