Overall
I wish I had known...

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
apartment is the only choice really. there is an erasmus residence on the campus, but the campus is in the middle of nowhere with limited public transport so it is no good if you wanna go places/have a social life

Personal comments
The autonónoma didn't give any help to students searching for apartments, only host families, which I thought was quite bad. Finding an apartment to share with other students in madrid was quite tricky since a lot of spanish people live with their parents. The good places fill up very fast just before semester starts. Get to madrid a few weeks before class starts and search online websites like loquo.com and as soon as you see something good take it! cause it will probably be gone within a few hours
