Kaella, take the advice PACK LIGHT!!! I am leaving back for the states in one month and starting to wonder how I am going to ever get all my stuff back with me. When I came here in early May, I had the 2 suitcase limit (iberia airlines). Now..almost 3 months later...I have accumulated so much extra "stuff". My plan is to ditch my american stuff, or mail it back, and fill the 2 suitcases with all my new spanish "stuff". My advice....come with as little as possible...just the bare basics. When you get here, buy all your clothes, etc. Then before you leave to go home you just will have to buy an extra suitcase or two. Happy studying abroad! I am not ready to go home in a month!
