Lots of International Students In an Affordable City Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

I didn't think the classes taught at the Facultad we particularly engaging or intense. There is a different work-ethic in students among Spain, so classes aren't taken as seriously. I personally didn't have a lot of homework or exams (besides the final exams).

On-site administration of your program

I loved the administrators. They were super kind and willing to help if any issues arose.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I did not like the first apartment I lived in. The apartment itself was fine but I found it almost impossible to connect with the four other Spanish students living there. The second semester was a lot better when I rented an apartment through Interasmundo. Here I lived with a group of international students who were having a similar experience to mine.

I loved Spanish food. Very affordable, but sometimes a lot of emphasis on meat.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

The program does a good job of introducing you to the city, especially with the two ayudantes who are there for you throughout the entirety of the program.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I didn't have any particular experiences with healthcare. The program made sure support systems were available such as providing therapists through zoom.

A super safe, young city where a lot of Erasmus students decide to spend their year. I never felt in danger but I still liked to walk with a friend or two if I was traveling anywhere far at night.

There were aspects I loved about the program such as affordability and ease of transport but I was still disappointed with the academic rigor. I did not feel a lot of pressure or support to thrive in my academics.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

Córoba is a very affordable/cheap city so I think it's a great place to live on a budget.

0 = No encouragement, 5 = frequent encouragement to use the language

A lot of encouragement at the beginning, but not much throughout. All our courses were in Spanish so this helped enforce the language pledge.
