Erasmus experience in Sevilla, Spain

Why did you decide to go to Seville, Spain?

I had asked for Madrid as my first choice and Seville as my second choice, so I accepted Seville nevertheless.

How long is your stay? How much money are you receiving?

I was supposed to leave for nine months but after three months I went back home. It was a nice city but after three months I got bored, so I therefore did not receive any money.

What is the student life like in Seville?

It's nice, but only among Erasmus students. The locals are welcoming but are very hypocritical, and they're also ethnocentric, it's just unpleasant.

Would you recommend the city and the University of Seville to other students?

Non, the courses are not interesting and you don't learn much. Seville is a good vacation spot, but the city is small and in two weeks you've already gotten to know all the bars, nightclubs, museums, etc...

How is the local food?

Very good.

How did you find housing?

On the website of the University of Seville.

How were housing prices? And prices in general?

About 300 euros per month in a shared flat. Life isn't too expensive.

How is it going with the language? Did you take language courses at your university?

There are some courses offered, however it's not very useful, seeing as the locals don't put in much of an effort compared to the foreigners. Their accent is difficult to understand.

What is the best way to get to Seville from your city?

Plane.
