Universidad de Almería

Accommodation: Pretty much all ERASMUS students live in El Zapillo. This part of the city is right in between the city center and the university. It is very common that students share apartments in this area, so you will always meet friends when going outside. I paid 390€ a month with all expenses included for a modern but small room in a four-person-apartment. You can find apartments on idealista.es and visit them in person when you get there. 
Transportation: To get to the university I took the bus. It only takes 15 minutes , the bus come and go very regularly and it’s very cheap (13€ per month). 
Food: I recommend trying as much food as possible (my favorite Tapas bars are Casa Puga, La Cala and El quinto toro). 
Activities and more: In the first two weeks Erasmus Student Network (ESN) organizes activities each day.  The activities such as beach volleyball, city tours or talent shows are great for meeting people in the beginning. ESN also organizes parties in our standard club “La Clásica” every Thursday, where we get in for free and enjoy beer for free. And ESN also plan trips to Gibraltar, Granada, Portugal, Madrid or Sevilla. Those are pretty cheap and well organized so I would recommend them for sure. Only 30 minutes east from Almería you can find “Cabo de Gata”. This national park is known for it’s untouched beaches and beautiful landscape. Definitely a must visit.

Accommodation: I found my shared flat through Idealista. I paid 350€ a month for a room in a five-girl shared flat on the beach. I highly recommend you looking for an accommodation in the el Zapillo neighborhood, as this is where most Erasmus students live and where many of the ESN events take place. In addition to Idealista, you can also search for a room in the ESN WhatsApp chat. The link to the chat can usually be found on the Instagram account.
Transportation: Regarding the infrastructure, most of the city can be reached by foot, but you also get a monthly bus card at the beginning of the semester (13€ per month). Taxis are also very cheap if necessary (there is no Uber). You can get to the university by bus or bike, which was one of my daily highlights, as the route runs completely along the seafort.
Activities and more: In addition to the numerous university activities, social life in Almería is largely organized through the ESN (Erasmus Student Network). From the beginning to the end of the semester, there are weekly activities and trips at very affordable prices.
