Personal comments
I was no interested in it, campus and housing were pretty far away from the city center, so I preferred to find a central shared flat on my own.

Be more warmer with Erasmus and have a little faith in "us", some of us wants to study and have good marks, that's why we have chose Carlos III: we have put ur faith in you!

Final comments
Travel the much as you can, also with ESN, rent a car with you friends, go to Andalucia or Portugal. Drink as you have never had before, but be sure someone sober has an eye on you. Don't be racist, try.

Personal comments
Not to put exams right after Easter vacation, because Erasmus students are more likely to go back home or receive visits from family and so they don't have enough time to study properly!
