if you're an american around other americans then everyone usually defaulted to english. we usually spoke spanish to local spanish students at language exchange events. yes we had homework everyday
Hi! I’m considering Universidad de Salamanca for my study abroad destination! I want to bring my dog with me, would you recommend it? Is it a pet friendly city?
The city is quite walkable so I'd guess from that end, it would be a pet friendly place! Im not sure about whether many establishments allow pets indoors
Thank you for a very informative video. I was thinking about studying at the University of Complutense and now lean towards the Salmanca University. I wonder if you would share thoughts on alojamiento: the university dorm, host family, shared room or one's own apartment/studio? Thank you.
I chose to stay with a host family and my experience was amazing! my host mom and sister were very kind. i spoke with them entirely in spanish and that was one of the most helpful things for my language immersion. the homestay included three meals a day, my own room and laundry. your experience may differ.
As far as these beautiful “Cala beaches”, The majority of them are on the eastern part of the island right? Now what’s the earliest we should get up in the morning to find parking and get first dibs?
hi girl, love this! im getting ready for a solo trip to majorca too. when you were at the beach did you swim alone and if you did what did you do with your bag? did you feel safe leaving it on the beach when u want in the water?
hi there! yup, I swam alone and just left my bag on my towel in the sand. I kept checking back to see if all my stuff was still there and no one touched it! it is a risk just leaving your stuff unattended just like anywhere, but generally other people don't really bother you or your things! I hope you have fun on your trip!!
I would pack more long layers (tops & pants), sturdy jackets, and all closed toed comfy shoes for walking and exploring! The key is layering, it does get pretty cold when it rains or the temperatures drop!
Hi! I love your vlog:) i have small question, I'm going to Majorca in August, SOLO too, but I would like to know, when you go to the beach and you're alone, how did you do for your little bag? for example phone, gopro, wallet etc. Thank you for your answer 😊
Yay I hope you enjoy it there! I did fine with just a tote bag - fits wallet, phone, keys, camera, water bottle, beach towel, sunscreen, etc. No one touched my stuff either, so I didn't worry so much about things being taken. Use your best judgement though :)
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Thanks, this video is really helpful! I’m planning on studying Spanish for a month in Salamanca this summer but have lots of questions. - Is the Spanish language and culture course taught entirely in Spanish or in both English and Spanish? - is there a disadvantage of booking the course straight from the uni rather than from a study abroad program provider e.g. less excursions, knowing less people when you get there, less access to resources, different housing etc ? - does the uni itself plan any cultural activities or excursions? Thanks!!
Hi there! That's awesome, I hope you have the best time :) - the Spanish language and culture program I took was taught entirely in spanish, it may be different depending on your school and what they offer - i don't know what it's like to book through the university because i did it through my study abroad program, i'd suggest you ask the advisors of the uni. - i believe usal does plan a lot of cultural activities and excursions, try referring to their website!
Me gusta más Salamanca porque la universidad es buena y se puede caminar por toda la ciudad y es muy bonita. Pero depende de que quieres estudiar y se puede decidir :)
i'm thinking of doing my undergraduate studies in USL. i understand that i should have at least some understanding of spanish before trying to apply, but are the bachelor degrees taught in english or spanish? :0
Definitely look on the USAL website to see if any courses are taught in english. Since its a Spanish university, the primary language the courses are taught in is Spanish. For reference, all my courses were taught in Spanish
Hi Kaye...I enjoyed your blog and channel a lot. I will be studying for 4 weeks at USAL. How did you get to Salamanca from Madrid Barajas Airport? Did you take renfe or avanza bus? Thanks and more power!
Thank you so much! Congratulations on going to study at usal! My study abroad program picked us up from Barajas and we did tours around Madrid for a few days before going to Salamanca. But renfe and avanzabus are great options to get there, ive used them both before around spain. Hope this helps!
Peetty good video! I think your choices were on-point. I'd probably even take some more of certain items (mainly t-shirts...) and I personally always pack at least a nail file, as mine break easily. I'd love to know where your top is from, it's beautiful!
Thanks for the helpful advice! I want to study in Rome the summer of my junior year, which is three years away. I just can’t stop binge watching study abroad videos tho!
