Universitat d'Alacant (UA)

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 : )

If u want just easy time this is not the place.

I couldn't have had a better time. I had an amazing experience.

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.

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.

That it was more difficult to find an appartment than i'd expected.

EVERYBODY SHOULD GO THERE!!!

That you can't get in most bars with sport shoes!

I recommend the students to avail theirselves of all the helpful services of the local International Students Office.
