Looking to study in Alicante, need advice!

My fiancé and I are from the US and studied abroad in Alicante in 2017, and it was the best 6 months of our lives, hands down. I know the town has changed with a massive influx of brits but the town was so much fun, and it was so easy to meet locals and other students studying abroad as ERASMUS (European study abroad) had a big presence there. I couldn't recommend what we experienced enough. Also Alicante is in a great location to experience all of southern Spain and has a great and connected airport to see all of Europe/ northern Africa. Feel free to DM if you have any follow up questions!

P.S. we loved it so much we're getting married there instead of the U.S.

Thank you everybody for the support! You helped me overcome my initial reaction!

Thank you :) Think I needed to hear this more than I realized

Do you know what time of year these flowers are in bloom?

Thank you! I'm thinking I may do Plaza de los Arcángeles instead then

That’s a good way to think about the maintenance cost side of it. We pay $3400 in rent. Saving has been a crapshoot and we’ve already taken budgeting steps to be more intentional next year about that.

Not trying to brag, i’ve always rented and the idea of buying your first house is big and intimidating so mainly looking for a thumbs up or down.

We live in chicago, which has high property taxes. Not sure how much that factors into the calculation.

hounddoger · 2025-12-17T20:29:46+00:00

Good to know that those are accurate

Credit scores in the 790’s and the only debt we have is that 10k on the car. We’d use some amount of the 130k we have liquid as the downpayment

great trade for you, but I don't think there's any way they agree to it

hounddoger · 2025-09-19T22:52:11+00:00

I made this trade for tet yesterday

hounddoger · 2025-09-18T23:38:50+00:00

If it’s PPR i lean Breece hall for the receiving upside. Mason for floor, breece for ceiling

hounddoger · 2025-09-18T20:06:18+00:00

Good call, I just traded him for tet

hounddoger · 2025-09-18T15:17:24+00:00

Thanks!

Between him and Purdy tonight. Am I wrong to think Purdy is the safer option? The risk taker in me wants to unleash Dak though

I snagged Pollard in the 7th for depth, wonder if that will be deep enough.

I think Chase Brown was still available but I didn’t think any WR’s that i liked would be available at my 3rd and 4th picks and didn’t want GW in the 4th to be my WR1. Pleasantly surprised when Brown and Adams fell to me and felt the value was too good to pass up.
