On campus
Why? 1. I can go the university without having to worry about travel time. 2. As basic services are offered such as food, laundry, room cleaning, etc. I can devote my time to academic activities. 3.

Work opportunities
It was not legal for me to work.

Personal spending habits:
I spent less here in basis services such as phone, rental and other bills because they´re covered by the grant (except for phone). I usually spend my money on books, clothing and visits to museums and other places of interest. Unlike at home where I used to pay all the bills myself.

I wish I had known ...
Flamenco and football!

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
