Insider tips about what future students should not miss: I would suggest that students try to use the weekends to see other parts of the island; to hire a car if possible. Gran Canarias has much to offer and it would be a shame not to venture beyond Las Palmas. We found the cultural progam very enjoyable and informative and it was a pity that we were the only ones to take advantage of it.
Other comments: We enjoyed our time with the administrators of the course, Monika and Angel, when we participated in the cultural program. Both were friendly, informative and great company.
