Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Suffolk has aquired some great locations for its dorm/apartments. If I were to do it agian, I would probably want to at least try to see what I could find on my own with some friends because the RA system got a bit irritating at times.

If you want a no-hassle accomidation in great locations (most are within walking distance to Sol, the main plaza of madrid) Suffolk has that aspect nailed down.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I loved staying with a family and would do so again but I think I would be ready the next time to stay on my own or with roomates since there is more privacy and freedom that way.

Personal comments
I think the work load was decent, I had alot of free time to myself. I did not feel overwhelmed with work yet I had enough to learn what I needed to learn. It is a diffrent style of learning here. More relaxed, I like it.

Personal comments
Suffolk University Madrid was extremely accomadting. Moving there from the States was an enormous adjustment and the university was very helpful. Specificly, one of of my professors, Paco Frisuelo. He independently found my classmates and I housing. Without him, we would have been lost.
