Suffolk University, Madrid Campus

The housing residence that I stayed in was in a perfect location. It was within a 15-20 minute walking distance to the campus. It was directly across the street from the underground metro station which proved very convenient. It was within walkable distance to a major shopping area. It was also very near to a high-tech internet cafe which was great. As for the residence itself, it was pretty good. I was especially happy because I shared a 3 person room with only one other person, so I had plenty of space. The kitchen/living room area was a little small, but other than that, everything was great!

The area near Puerta Del Sol and Plaza Mayor had great nightlife. It was fun to eat dinner outside in the middle of Plaza Mayor at night. There are also great restuarants around that area, as well as nightclubs. However, the nightclubs that I went to that I thought were great were dispersed throughout the city.

Pack light. Bring a good pair of walking shoes. Be open to new things. Don't forget to bring your camera!

Most of the time throughout my trip, I was travelling with someone who was fluent in Spanish. So she would do the talking most of the time. However, there were many occasions when I used my Spanish speaking skills on my own, which was a little challenging at times. As for the university, English was the primary language.
