Keep these tips in mind when living in shared flats in León:
-
If one of your flatmates is from León and you don't understand some of the expressions they use, don't worry, it's normal! For example, if your partner invites you to “go for shorts” he is inviting you to have a beer, or, if in the morning he tells you that “something has fallen”, it means that a frost has fallen during the night.
-
Depending on where your college and accommodation are located, you may consider buying a bicycle to get from one place to another quickly. That way, you can save on public transport and enjoy the city more.
