ICADE

No not really. I find the best way for me to deal with a new adventure/experience is to jump into it and deal with it as it goes. I felt I had enough basic knowledge and information with me to deal with whatever had to be dealt with.

I would not do the dual degree program and am still glad I didn't. The school offers more social and experience value rather than academic in my opinion. Joining the E4U student organization there and going to their functions is a great way to meet new international students. The acadmic life there is pretty much a bummer in my opinion. It just doesn't fit well with me I guess. But overall the school is still a good time if you can stop stressing about academics and enjoy yourself a bit. Afterall, this experience is not just about what you learn in school.

I would have liked to be informed by the Spanish way of LEARNING. It is like memorizing and has nothing in common with applying your knowledge.

to place more student activities so that Spanish and International students can get more in touch with each other.

no. I visited/worked before in Spain, so I was quite used to the culture and everyday-life.

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

country language above all and a lot of people from all over the world

students of Icade have to be more open minded with international students

How few facilities were available to students in ICADE, regarding student clubs/societies etc. There was a very limited selection of things you could do and they were generally more expensive than the equivalent at home.

The standard of tuition is very good but some lecturers seem to prefer not to have foreign students in their classes. It's very well located in the centre of Madrid, so if you live nearby you'll be close to everything. I'm glad I chose it.

bring a internet cable for laptop. things shut down on sundays.

study abroad!
