The university was as good as expected, they have very strong links with private firms. It guides students to be ready and aware of what is going to be expected from them in their professional careers.

The environment and location is perfect! The smaller size of classes makes the teaching more personal.

I wish I had known the city a little better before renting out an apartment. Everything in Madrid is very close and some areas offer much cheaper housing.

Go for Madrid, for Spain and for Europe, the University is (sadly) secondary.

When looking for "alojamiento", do not be afraid to take the metro and live a little further away that the Argüelles/Moncloa zone.

How to find an apartment or room in Madrid without struggling for so long! And how patient you've got to be when enrolling as foreigner at the local police and government offices. (Things like that took five times longer in Madrid than in Barcelona!)

When weather is nice - make sure to take advantage of the most beautiful outdoor "study library" in Europe: The Retiro Park! Good for flirting too...

That studies abroad can be very demanding, especially when you study at a Catholic private university in Spain, but the reward is a degree of one of the best universities in the world.

Since it is a private university all administrative things are easy to be handled. Just go there, they will tell you everything...

When going to Spain I'd recommend going to Andalusia (Sevilla, Córdoba, Marbella, Granada, Cádiz), Barcelona, and the North!! (San Sebastian, Santander); For Madrid I'd recommend testing different bars - go to different Museums - Madrid has to offer so many different things, it's incredible!
