There was no housing at the university offered to us and as far as I am aware there is none at all.

I shared the flat with 5 other girls. It was all right. Each one had its own bedroom. There were 3 bathrooms, a sitting room and a kitchen.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family or in an apartment with peers
Why?
It is important to live with natives from the country in which you study. You need this invaluable experience which is actually superior to the classroom experience.

My accomodations were ideal. A 20-minute walk from the university which required my passing through important sites of the host city and a host family that made my experience truely an enriching experience.

Why?
I already speak spanish and im familiar with the spanish culture. Although i could come and go as i wished visitors were not allowed and i prefer to be able to cook for myself. Im jsut that kind of independant type person. I do recommend staying with a family if you really want to emerse yourself in the culture. Plus, being vegetarian my only choice was to choose a family over the dorms.

For the most part housing was great. CIEE did a good job except for the fact they forgot to tell my host mom i was vegetarian and i had a very monotnous semester of the same types of food--mostly tomatoes, spinach, totilla española and rotten cheese.

You should look at the ads posted in the University. That's the easiest and fastest way to find accommodation in august - september and jan. - feb.

Why?
I would definitely recommend staying with a host family for the first semester just to see what the culture is like but when/if i come back i will get an apartment just to have a little more independence.

CCIS did a very good job of setting up all their students with good families. Ours was very nice and the mother cooked some amazing food.
