I wish I had known...
Well UA was quite an experience for me. First thing - what i was told it will be had nothing to do with what it really was. I was supposed to have half of my classes in English - i had them all in Spanish. The organization here is ridiculous it is like in a state of war. i had more problems fixing the 6-7 documents than getting my exams. the website of the university is ONLY in Spanish and is also ridiculous with its 100000000 options - good luck with finding whatever.
Nobody here speaks Spanish - it is just full of erasmus/exchange students. lots of US... for all my time here i barely know any Spanish people.
Another thing - at some moment through the semester i found i was given much more pressure on than some friends of mine - it turned out that for some reason Computer Science students have 10 times more work than the others.
overall - it was shocking - not bad but... weird : )) do not expect just easy time if u study IT : )

Not that I have anything to compare it to, but this program was great. The director (Armando) is very accomodating, and sensitive to individual needs.

I knew before leaving that I had enough friends from the States in the States. I made the extra effort to make Spanish friends on my own, rather than just hanging out with all the other American students. For me, this is what really made my experience unique. I made some of the closest friends I have ever had. We still keep in touch and visit eachother often. Just make sure you know what you want to get out of the program before going in to it. The posibilities are endless.

Perhaps accomodation. It had not been so easy to find it there soon. And also something more about the courses at university, the school system in Spain.

Try to ask for information about courses and practices! In Italy practices do not have the same importance they have in other countries. In fact, in Spain they are an essential part of the note. If you do not attend the practices, you cannot do the exam.

I think an experience abroad is amazing. It is a possibility to grow up, to learn other points of view, to meet new people.
To the students that are going to leave I would recommend to collect informations before leaving in order to not be in a maze once the arrive in the host country.

Estudiar esta carrera, aunque sus salidas son muy limitadas y las ofertas muy competitivas, es una carrera totalmente vocacional. He conocido a profesores, expertos y compañeros increíbles que no tengo duda de que serán grandes profesionales.

I believe Erasmus is an excellent opportunity for self development and enrichment, since it allows a student to get in contact with many other cultures and to broaden his/her horyzons. Therefore it must not be treated as a mere "party party" period but as a full-rounded experience.
