HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.

Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because I can be more independent, have my routine as I want it. Also to have a little peace sometimes.
Personal comments:
I dont have an experiance, because I was looking for a place to stay by myself.

STUDENT LIFE    
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Nightlife: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Activities, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
There are a lot in Madrid! Half a year is not enough! But for example if you want to try tapas then its Tigre, near the metro station Gran Via. Another nice choice is 100 montaditos, there are a few in town. To go out I suggest the barrio of Chueca, because its very colorful, suprising and great music all around.
