There is very little choice about housing no matter what they promise - it seems to be a personal way for someone to get rich

Space is an awesome club with hot people! Casa de Cerveza has happy hour with all you can drink cerveza/sangria for 1,000 pts. between 11 and 1AM, and there are tons of people from the U.S. Definitely check out a soccer game and bullfight. Visit el Palacio Real and pay extra for the guided tour!!! It's worth it.

The area near Puerta Del Sol and Plaza Mayor had great nightlife. It was fun to eat dinner outside in the middle of Plaza Mayor at night. There are also great restuarants around that area, as well as nightclubs. However, the nightclubs that I went to that I thought were great were dispersed throughout the city.

My favorite night spots were the bars called O'Connels and the other one called O'Neils. Great pints of beer at a great price. I loved the night club Kapital. The restaurants are pretty cool. Don't miss out on the little tapas bars. Cafe y TE is a great cafe to hang out, smoke, study, or just meet other people.

Personal comments
For one of the courses I took, the determination of the final grade was based solely on the final exam. Although I did well, I wished that instead of one exam (that could make or break your grade), there should be other types of assignments throughout the course that are used to asses the final grade.
