Lauren: University of Salamanca (Semester 1, 2011)

Salamanca is an absolutely beautiful old university town, and a great place to live as an exchange student. There's no campus as such, just uni buildings dotted around town - a lot of which are stunning, especially in the main area near the Catedral Nueva ("New" Cathedral, built in the 15th century!), and you can walk absolutely everywhere, even by yourself in the middle of the night.

Meera: University of Salamanca (Semester 1, 2011)

I would highly recommend going on exchange to anybody considering it, especially if they are planning on going to the University of Salamanca, the oldest university in Spain!

Amy: University of Salamanca (Semester 2, 2010)

I would definitely recommend coming to Salamanca to any Spanish student – it has been one of the best experiences of my life.

Caitlin: Universidad Pablo de Olavide (Semester 2, 2011)

Exchange is like a rollercoaster – The waiting in anticipation, the challenges of organising everything, the daunting feeling of not knowing anyone or what to expect.... At the end however you just wish the ride would have lasted longer and I ...

Sevilla is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Doing an Exchange there will exceed expectations on all levels. It has so much to offer, from it&acu...

Jacqui: Universidad de Salamanca (Semester 1, 2010)

The first few weeks can be quite difficult as you adjust to a new way of life, new friends, a new language, new home and new subjects but once you're into the swing of it nothing will stop you!

Rhiannon: University of Salamanca (Semester 1, 2010)

Although a lot of the experience was quite different to what I expected, it was bigger, better and easier then I thought it would be.

Stephanie: Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Semester 1, 2008)

Six months living and studying in Barcelona has gone by so quickly.
