Universitat de València (UV)

Valencia is a nice and cosy city to live in. The social life is great and you will never get bored. Be sure to make contacts with the local people or better yet share an appartment with other local students.

Leave early enough to be able to adapt (read: spend some holidays) in the city where you will live in. When the academic year starts, it will still feel a little as holidays, but not as much as before. It is also very useful to already start and learn the language before the academic year.

travel to Andalucia, Barcelona and Madrid. A very complete erasmus report can be found on my hp: www.mhaus.de.vu

Make sure you have some knowledge of Spanish before going, so you will be able to find yourself a place to live. Live with Spaniards as it offers you the possibility to speak and understand the spanish slang as domestic terms. Also you get to know the culture and domestic life better. Speak Spanish with every one straight from the beginning even when it seems impossible. Travelling is rather cheap with an international student card. During eatern you should visit Andalusia as it is very green and tempature is bearable in the cities.
