As a result of the Euro compared to the Canadian dollar I spent more in Spain than I do in Canada. However, I found food and nightlife to be cheaper thus the costs balanced out.

Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
A very large campus, one must be very independent to be able to manage all of the intricacies of such a large university. The teachers are wonderful, so get to know them!

Final comments
Every individual's travel experience is unique. It is important to keep an open mind, always be willing to try new things and travel to new places. Take advantage of every moment and don´t waste time feeling homesick because soon enough you will be on the plane back home wishing that you were still abroad.

Course recommendations
DO NOT ENROL IN COURSES THAT YOU WON`T BE ABLE TO FINISH. AS A FOREIGN STUDENT OUR ASSIMILATION CAPACITY IS NOT AS GOOD AS HOME STUDENTS THEREFORE THE DIFFICULTIES WILL BE BIGGER.

Personal social experience
Personal comments
There are literally hundreds of different places where one can socialize while in Madrid. Favorite haunts include Las Huertas and around Plaza del Sol and Gran Vía. Not to be missed are the three main museums and a walk down Paseo del Prado.
