Staying at a Spanish university under the Erasmus + program was fascinating to me and became the most vivid memory of my studies. I studied at the Spanish university in Jaen.

The city is small, though it is the center of the region. I want to say that everyone needs to learn Spanish at the basic level, because here they speak in English only in the university. Initially, there were little difficulties in communication, but after a few weeks they disappeared, because the Spanish language is easy to learn and you have a constant communication practice that promoted better understanding.

The university has a huge territory and more than 10 buildings. Audiences have everything you need for comfortable learning. All classes were conducted in English, although not all the speakers spoke all the words correctly, but this did not interfere with the understanding and over time you can get used to it. All professors are kind and open-minded people who will help you with any problem. Lessons and practical classes were incredibly interesting and taught me a lot of new things. Much of the practical sessions are devoted to discussing various issues, enabling everyone to express their views.

Also, different cultural events were organized daily for the students, which did not bother me in the evenings.

So, I recommend that everyone go to this university. A great experience, a lot of new friends is just a small part of what you will find in this trip.
