Erasmus Experience in Sevilla, Spain by Lipcsei

Why did you choose to go to Sevilla, Spain?

Because I love Mediterranean regions.

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

I was in Seville for 4 months. The flat was 350 EUR/month + internet, and other fees, like water... So it's quite expensive. I got 1500 EUR from the school, but it wasn't enough of course. The public transport is high quality, but expensive too.

What is the student lifestyle like in Sevilla?

More than great! Everybody are so friendly, and great people!

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

Of course! These 4 months changed my life. I can't tell how much I miss Seville!
