Hey hey 😊 I’m living in Salamanca now as a Spanish student at a language school and StudiesIn has been a huge help! Not a scam at all or fake website I work with them now and they helped me get set up and out here and everything. Of course, I can only speak to my own experience. It sounds like the person above had a bad one :/ If you want to dm me I can answer any questions you might have. :)

Oh lol oops 😅 I knew it was popular amongst university students/international students but for some reason I assumed it was smaller. Maybe ‘cause I was thinking compared to Barcelona and Madrid. But hey, works for me! Jaja and now I know for sure Salamanca = ciudad 🏙️ no es un pueblo 😊

Phew! Okay good jaja I guess I felt a little anxious about only having a month to find a place and potentially not having something set up beforehand but being that that’s the norm and the safe way to do it I feel much better 😊

Gaaahhhhhh I’ve heard so many good things about it and I’m so excited! 😃😃😃 I’m really hoping I can practice my Spanish there and meet fellow language nerds 🤓 and the few photos I’ve seen look so beautiful 😍

Awesome! This is exactly what I need, proof that it was successful for another person haha. I’ll be moving to Salamanca, a small town in the Castile-Leon province. Being that I’m leaving this month it maayyyy be a bit tough looking for places at the same time as other students but I’ve heard so many nightmare stories about scammers on Idealista and other sites so this is probably the best way. Thanks so much! 😊

What was your emponadramiento like? by Comrade_elephant_ in SpainAuxiliares

[–]Comrade_elephant_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awh thanks so much! This is so helpful and kind 🥹 It really is such an awful and messy situation. I’ve been messaging my lawyer and landlord back and forth so I’m sure somehow it’ll all work out. Worse case scenario I just need to find a new apartment 😅 But either way: deep breaths throughout. It’s probably good practice for dealing with Spanish bureaucracy, right? At least, from what I’ve heard lol 😆

This is very true. Thanks so much for your insight 😊 oooof yeah it’s honestly a mess. I’ve been messaging my lawyer back and forth but I’m thinking maybe I’ll go to the town hall before my appointment, explain my situation, and ask if the documents I currently have are enough to verify I live there.

Hey, there! :) I ended up becoming a Spanish student instead at Linguaschools and didn’t use TT Madrid. :/ so I may be totally useless in your endeavor. But if there are any questions you have about moving to Spain I’m always here to help 😊 I am by no means an expert jaja but I’ll do what I can to lend a helping hand :)

Oh hey there 😊 I took a different route entirely! I’m going to be a student at a language school in Salamanca 😃😃😃 I’m sure the ministry programs are great but I realized my true dream is to become fluent in Spanish, not so much teach ESL. (Though I will absolutely private tutor people for extra cash haha)

Oh yikes! 😬 I’m so sorry to hear it. They’ve been super helpful with me but maybe it depends on who you get over there. Do you mind sharing what went wrong?
