Final exams are here…
Posted by Yekaterina (France and Spain) in Study Abroad on May 25, 2018
Being on my Year Abroad has been so fun but unfortunately there’s no escaping the final exams.. I’ve been revising mainly and trying to have breaks in between. There’s a really nice café called, ‘Manolitos’ just behind the faculty of Philology and they let you study there. It’s spacious and you can sit there for […]

University life- Salamanca
Posted by Yekaterina (France and Spain) in Study Abroad on April 27, 2018
Now that I’ve gotten used to the university more, I thought I’d write about it! Yesterday, my faculty had a party which is basically a day off where everyone dresses up in fancy dress and goes around the streets and then to the bars or clubs. It’s a lot of fun! I study in […]

University of Salamanca
Posted by Yekaterina (France and Spain) in Study Abroad on March 27, 2018
Hello, so today I’d like to share my thoughts on the University so far and what it’s like in general. Firstly, the workload at the University of Salamanca is pretty intense and I have a lot less free time than I would in England. Just to give you a rough idea I have 23 […]

So, what have I been up to these first three weeks: The City The city is perfect for me because it’s a pedestrian centre! I prefer this because It’s just quicker to get about, there’s no need to cross roads or wait for the traffic light to change. Of course, if you live less central […]
