if you want to learn spanish, this is very possible here, although 2 semesters are required to get a high level.
great city, nice people, good level of education and of course lots of stuff to do.
in short: if you feel attracted to spain and spanish stuff, you should come to madrid.

“An opportunity to spend a year abroad at UC Berkeley”

Overall
University Carlos III of Madrid is one the best universities for social science students in Spain. Campus is located in a town nearby Madrid, Getafe, and it counts on good facilities taking into account that it is a small university. In genera, professors are experienced professionals and researchers. Students are hard-working people coming from all regions of Spain. Furthermore, the university has agreements with many institutions where you can spend a year abroad, both in and outside the European Union.
Nevertheless, the evaluation system of the university makes it really stressful for students. Normally, the continuous assessments requires projects (both individual and team), presentations and discussions. However, the final exam, that normally represents between the 50 or 60% of the grade still needs to be passed for the grade obtained in the continuous assessment to be taken into account. Furthermore, the design of the courses could be improved, as well as the ways of teaching and engaging with materials.

This is a very good university. In fact, even the Spaniard consider it. A very good knowledge of the language (almost native I'd say) is required if you want to take courses in Spanish. I know that they have courses in English but I don't know which ones.

Get to know Madrid before you go and try to improve your Spanish (if you're a native speaker) before you go. I'd definitely recommend this university if asked.

“Experiencia en la universidad”

Overall
Durante mis tres años completos en la universidad he podido aprender razonando, comprendiendo las causas y las consecuencias de cada hecho histórico. Además, al ser un grado en inglés los profesores eran mayoritariamente extranjeros lo que te permitía conocer la economía desde distintos puntos de vista.
En los dos primeros años aprendes lo conceptos básicos macroeconómicos y microeconómicos. Sin embargo, en los dos últimos años puedes irte especializando en el área al que te quieras dedicar gracias a la variedad de optativas ofrecidas.
Gracias a esta universidad, tuve la oportunidad de realizar un cuatrimestre en la Universidad de Seúl. Sin duda una de las mejores experiencias, gracias al enriquecimiento que me aporto su cultura.

I wish I had known that sharing an apartment independently with other students would have ensured interaction with other international students my age.

I enjoyed my experience abroad. My advice is to keep an open mind and make friends with students your age. They will really take care of you over there...especially those living there who are also not native to the country.
