ICADE

No, I felt very well informed thanks to study reports from other students.

ICADE is certainly a prestigious university in Spain and an asset for your CV. It does not have a campus as such, and therefore there is not much of a campus life style. The teaching style may seeem a bit old fashioned to students from more anglosaxon academic traditions, but it really depends on the teacher. Work load and academical standard is good, but not too demanding (again depending on the person). I managed to get good results in all subjects and still have time for a rich social live outside university.

That I was going to make through to the end! I have worried less.

It is very academic.

I would like to work

To obtain the world-wide recognition like school of businesses

Have a job ready for when you get back because it´s hard to find the time to look for one while you´re here.

Get to know the local students right away.

Rent in Madrid is comparable to, or higher than, rent in Dublin in most cases. I didn't use the phone much. Alcohol is much cheaper (excluding in places like Kapital). Groceries are much cheaper.
