Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because of the relationships that I established between students coming from all over the world.Living with people from other countries is the easiest way to obtain relevant insights into other cultures.
Personal comments:
I lived in a private apartment shared with students from other universities from Madrid.

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: Spanish
Was learning Spanish a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Spanish
How much did you improve your Spanish?
My level before: Basic phrases
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
Taken courses in the local language is definetly a good way to learn the language. BUT, practice and grammar is very important which has to be more focused. Implying, that one should force itself to currently speak the local language even though many international students are around.

I wish I had known...
The climate in Madrid was quite surprising. Summer didn't start before June and until that time it was freezingly cold. But when summer finally started I would have prefered the cold weather... you can't stand that heat!! Should have taken with me more cloth for winter-weather, however.
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
University is ok, teachers are quite nice, only disatvantage is that it is in Getafe, but connection by bus is no problem.



FINAL COMMENTS

Try out everything, travel a lot, Spain is great!, enjoy the food (and the food prices on the market, especially for fish and seafruits!), enjoy the nightlife and don't get stressed from the crowds of people on the streets..
