Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison
Pourquoi?
on campus housing is rather restrictive. it's like having parents away from home. its not your typical univeristy regulations. when i was there, americans were not allowed to get their own apartments until their second year. other nationalities were.

my first semester was at a 'girls dorm' which later closed down. the following semester i was at a university apartment, but the girls were not my type of crew...very 'fake'. my last year there i had my own apartment and it was great. 2 minutes from school. great neighborhood too. freedom.

soma was my favorite club. house music and techno are very popular in madrid. soma was the best underground techno club in madrid. Sol is a great place to go once the sun goes down. it has tons of pubs, discos and bars. plus it's swarming with young people. if you like techno madrid has lots of clubs (soma, coppelia,cream,cocoon...), if you like hip hop, or whatever is popular on the radio there is a place for you.
if your goal is to learn spanish, take all the spanish courses you can. other great courses are those with 'mandatory trips' as a compliment to what you learn in class.

for those who went to SLU to actually learn spanish, i saw it as a challenge because of the large population of americans at the school. many friends of mine were there for two years and they left knowing just as much as when they arrived...not too much. you have to make an effort to learn spanish because americans are everywhere.

Recommandation personnelle
as far as academics go, they aren't the strongest. but they offer you something that doesn't have a price tag- international experience. it's a great place to go if you are an undecided freshman. they have enough variety in courses that you can find your niche and learn some spanish while you're at it. it's a great place for what it is.

Spain has definately made a huge impression on me. it's definately my destination for graduate study.
if you have dollars, spain is incredibly cheap and affordable. now that i live in the states everything just seems to expensive to me.

there are always ways to earn a few extra euros. teaching english or just doing intercambios is a good way. i did't really experience any financial surprises. if you budget, you'll survive. try to live with out american products, experience spain for their food as well. buying spanish alternatives to name brands saves $!
