What is college life like in Spain?

! By the way, make some supplements to the university life in Spain, maybe the landlord will know something about it.

Learning Spanish for one year requires an understanding of college courses. Unless the landlord has a special language talent, or works hard, or has mastered a foreign language similar to Spanish, the answer is almost no. . Not alarmist. There are many technical terms involved in college classes (some people in Spanish-speaking countries can't understand them). Moreover, many universities have no books in class, so they can only copy the teacher's handouts (usually just some pictures). It seems a bit difficult to take notes in class and learn Spanish for a year. And some subject teachers give you homework from time to time, so you have to check the information yourself. Almost every professional book in the library is thicker than a brick. It takes more than ordinary endurance to chew it down, let alone holding a dictionary. . . Especially after the implementation of the Bologna plan this year, the teaching time will be reduced, and the homework will increase a lot, so the landlord should be mentally prepared.

Whether the university is busy or not depends on the major chosen by the landlord. Many majors in general science are difficult to graduate. There are regulations in the university that you must complete N credits a year in order to upgrade smoothly. For example, many majors in Catalonia University of Technology must repeat if more than two majors fail within one year. I heard from my classmates that it takes four years (or five years) to study caminos (like civil engineering) as an undergraduate. I forgot), but the average graduation time is seven years, and few people can finish without repeating a grade. This is only for students in Spanish-speaking countries, and it is even more difficult if there are language barriers. . . However, knowing a girl studying history seems that they are very happy. They attend classes for half a day and often go on strike several times. Many exams have been replaced by homework. According to her, it is one of the majors that are relatively easy to graduate. Personally, I think it will take some time to graduate from college here smoothly.

The problem of working in college seems to be that international students can work up to 20 hours a week, which is not certain. However, with the economic crisis in Spain, it is not easy to find a part-time job after school. In China, the salary there is generally not high, and the work you can do in your spare time is generally limited (restaurants or warehouse areas work more on weekends). If you are experienced, the meal period in a restaurant seems to be about 30 euros (skilled in running errands), while the warehouse area is generally about 50 euros a Sunday. Foreign workers need language, and it seems that people in the service industry don't like to hire China people. If you are lucky enough to find a good after-school job, you can earn almost 200 to 300 euros a month. In addition, you can work for more than two months in the summer vacation (now many bosses are afraid to stay without a job), and it is no problem to save money and rent a house. Tuition, if you are a public school student, you only need to pay 15% tuition, and the annual registration fee is about 1000 euros, depending on the credits. Personally, if you don't want to neglect your studies, you'd better not work during school hours (weekends and winter and summer vacations can be considered). Personal experience, I studied in university of basel and have a regular weekend job. Coupled with the usual part-time jobs such as translation and Chinese tutor, I have almost 17, 18 hours a week (including weekends 12 hours). Personally, I think that's the limit. If it is increased, it will affect my studies. Many students around me feel that their academic burden is heavy when they are not working part-time.

Many negative news about international students heard by the landlord is also true. As Nubche said, many foreign students can't really integrate into the local society because of their own language barriers, cultural background, different customs and habits, life difficulties and other reasons, which often leads to the phenomenon of China people getting together. Another point is that many foreign students are not doing well in domestic universities, and their family economy allows them to study abroad and get a diploma, so that they can find a good job with a turtle hat when they go back (of course, they can't generalize, and many still want to really learn something). It's also very important, as vilsonyao also said, that is, never stick to China people, or you won't want to integrate into the local society.

As for choosing a major, it is still an old saying, mainly because you are interested, have a good foundation and have a bright future. For example, if you like science, I tell you that philosophy is a good graduate, but if you are not interested and have no future, will you choose?

Universities, such as the University of Salamanca in Spain, the University of Madrid, the Autonomous University of Madrid, the Polytechnic University of Madrid, the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the University of Barcelona and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia are all good, depending on your major.

I said so much unconsciously, I don't know if it will help the landlord. Maybe what I said above is a bit serious, but it's all what I have seen and heard. If the landlord wants to study in the west, it is recommended to consider it carefully. If you are really determined to come out, I wish the landlord success first. Also, personally, it is difficult to get into a prestigious school in China, but if you can really come to Spain, your chances of getting into a prestigious school are much greater than in China (see if you can graduate).
