The exam is offered by the Instituto Cervantes in Bilbao. This certificate is recognized in Spain. The cost of this certificate exam is minimal and will have to be paid for by the student. They work very closely with the University and most Richmond students have been pleased with their service. Students would normally rent a room and pay on a monthly or weekly basis.
Students select housing upon arrival.
This gives students the opportunity to select and view the rooms before making a commitment. In Bilbao, students find an apartment in the city. Finding an apartment on one's own is less expensive. The cost will vary depending on the type of housing one selects. Sharing an apartment with other students is much cheaper than living with a family or living on one's own.
