Type of housing:
Apartment/House

Arranged by:
Independently - I had no other choice

If returning, I would choose:
Apartment/House
Why? I think sharing an apt with other exchange students is the best option overall, because you can interact with people your age and have some kind of privacy (especially if you have a room for yourself, as i did).

Describe host city:
Students equally interact with the local and student community

Activities take/s place mostly outside the university/student environment

Travel, Nightlife take/s place both within and outside of the university/student environment

Course recommendations:
I took 4 courses: Marketing Internacional, Tecnicas Modernas de Ventas, Sociologia de la Comunicacion y Grupos a la Empresa and Teoria de la comunicacion Comercial. Marketing Internacional: a mess - there were 2 ways to be evaluated, one in which you had to complete many assessments throughout the course and a final term exam, and other which was just the exam. I wanted to choose the former, but i couldnt access the Course internet files for about 2 weeks so i failed to handle 4 assessments and couldnt choose the on going system anymore. So, as i was forced to choose the simple final exam option, i didnt feel estimulated to go to classes anymore, as presence is not required. Also, gotta say that the classes were pretty much of a mess, the teacher couldnt control the students and would be only speaking about cases, without explaining the fundamentals of international marketing. Deception much. Tecnicas Modernas de Ventas - good class, the teacher was very helpful and nice. The project we had to develop could have been a bit more oriented. Sociologia de la Com... - Awesome class, but u gotta speak a very good spanish to understand it. the teacher is so funny and smart and thinks completely out of the box. There arent many exchange students here, so u will probably be alone cause local students dont interact much. Teoria de la Comunicacion - good basic class of advertising. dont expect to learn on a deeper level though.
