Service in Spain is very slow. I would be at a restaurant waiting for service and getting the bill would always take days. Oh yeah they have 2 siestas(naps) a day so shops wouldnt be open during certain hours. It's not like the US where shops/restaurants are open all the time. I experienced the good and bad but it was well worth it. If you're going to be there during the summer be sure to check out Ibiza. There are two things you need to do in college and that is to get laid and study abroadOriginally Posted by keithsweatsjordans

NICE. Spain is one of the destinations I'm looking at...any things you wish you knew before going?
And Grim I feel you on the academics. I've heard it both ways i.e. classes are super hard/easy but hopefully I can balance the experience and actually doing work

One of my boys did a semester in London and you basically described his experience word for wordOriginally Posted by MetallicNitro
Studied in London for 3 weeks in '09. Best time of my life. It was about 20 of us including our professor. She completely changed her whole syllabus. Cancelled the first week's assignment, and shortened the 2nd and 3rd week assignments from a minimum of X to "just make it good" and went out drinking with us. I spent so much money going out, getting drunk, hanging out with the guys who worked at the pub... all in the 1st week and half.
I met so many people from different parts of the world. I enjoyed that more than anything. Talking about life and getting to see the world from a whole different perspective just changed me. I will never ever forget those three weeks (other than the times I blacked out)
