Final comments
A helpful advice: do not rent a room before you get to know the city and learn what the best location is for you. I rent a place from Brazil and, after I arrived, realised it was too far from my campus and Spanish course and had to move. Moving was a choice of course, but I think it was the right one. In a small city such as this, you'll want to take advantage of the fact you don't need to take a bus everywhere and actually walk everywhere you need.

“Mi experiencia como estudiante de Psicología en la USAL”

Overall
He sido alumna de la facultad de Psicología de Salamanca durante 4 años y he de decir que mi recuerdo es muy bueno. El edificio es muy bonito y acogedor, y el personal es muy agradable. En cuanto a las asignaturas y profesores está claro que hay algunos que me gustaron más que otros, pero por lo general salgo muy contenta y con la sensación de que he aprendido mucho.

You need a lot of pacience - things need more time but they work out more or less. This refers to the organisation of the university as well as sometimes to the waiters in the whole country.

it's better to look for an apartment personally than booking one from home!

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living with a family was an incredible experience. However, if given the opportunity to live with peers/students who were not native English speakers, our common language would have been Spanish. While my host family did not speak English, I feel as though I would have spoken more frequently if I had lived with peers.

Personal comments
My Spanish home stay was an amazing experience that I would not trade. The insider's view to a Spanish home, food, family unit, television programs, etc. provided me with a wealth of knowledge of the Spanish culture I would have otherwise not gained. I felt very doted upon at the dinner table (excellent food!) but never told to study or given a curfew. If these are issues that may deter prospective students wishing to study abroad...please do not let it!
