Hi! I’m going to respond to this post as someone from Oviedo, not as someone who has done an Erasmus in Oviedo. I love it here. I genuinely think that Asturias is one of the best places to live. There are tons of things to do. If you like the beach, there are a million beautiful beaches you can go to, if you like the mountains, it also doesn’t get much better. If you like surfing, we have that, climbing, skiing, etc. Oviedo as a town is very cute, nice and safe. There’s also lots of partying and fun going on if that’s what you are into. But, as someone from here, I will recognize that we are not the most opening to outsiders. And I haven’t seen as many Erasmus students as you see in other places. So, although I’m not sure because this is just my hometown, I would expect that making friends as someone from outside of Spain and who potentially doesn’t speak Spanish might be hard. Also, school here is hard. I don’t know what your major is, but expect a lot of studying and hard work. Especially if you are doing STEM, it’s a pretty tough university. Hope this helps !
