La Universidad Pablo de Olavide

I am studying at La Universidad Pablo de Olavide this semester. The University is located on the outskirts of the city, because I live close to the city center, I take the metro to class everyday. The metro is very clean, and there are always one or two security guards. I love seeing all of the students using the metro.

Last Tuesday there was an orientation and the metro was filled with foreigners (mostly Americans.) After the orientation we gathered in the cafeteria to have sangria, cerveza, jamón, and cheese. This is where I met two people from Appalachian who had been studying in Sevilla during the fall semester.










I have eaten lunch at the University's  outdoor cafe, and the two people who work there are so nice! One of my friends has been here for 5 months already, and they like to practice their English with her. It is really charming. I have been to the cafe twice now and they recognize me, they even announce the numbers of the tickets in English when we are there, although we know our numbers in Spanish.

They even apologized that my food took 10 minutes to cook because the oven is broken, which was not even an issue for me.

My classes seem very interesting and the professors are very nice and funny, as well as my classmates.
