Food in the dining hall was mostly variations on ham, seafood, and bread, but that's only the first month. |

Drinking in front of a cathedral with 100 other Spanish students? Priceless. |

Safe city as long as you're smart about things; the only problems I had were creepers whistling on the street or making comments, once trying to kiss me. Never very serious. |

Yes
