Unlike colleges in the U.S. that have big campuses and on-campus housing, here in Spain we just have academic buildings. These academic buildings are scattered all throughout the city meaning they could be 5 minutes apart or 40. There is no on-campus living so students have to get their own apartment close to the campus if they live too far away. My house is about a 30-35 minute walk everyday but since everyone walks everywhere all the time I am already used to it. Some of the classrooms are very small with only 10 students but can range to 35 students per class. None of the professors speak English so it can be a challenge at times but is the best way to learn and understand the language. Each class is an hour and a half long. We rarely receive homework and most classes do not require books.
