Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
"El Palacio" is definitely a place to go to on Thursday nights! There was a "cerveceria" too which was cool in the area of "chuecas" and the "chocolateria" next to "el palacio"!

Personal spending habits:
First of all, food in Spain is less expensive than in France, housing as well. I spent more money for the telephone because I had to buy phone cards to call home whereas I don't pay anything when I'm in France.It wasn't that expensive, it is just that I usually don't buy phone cards.
Telephone: was more expensive than at home.
Travel, Nightlife: was the same price as at home.
Food, Overall, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
