Avis sur Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM)

I spent more due to a near equalization of exchange rate (Euro/Pound). One example was housing. At the beginning, my rent in Madrid was the same as in London, but after the near equalization of exchange rate my rent in Madrid became more expensive than at home. I spent less on telephone and food because of lower prices than in London. I spent more on nightlife and travel. This is because I went out at night a lot more in Madrid and I had to traveled to university.

Almost everything is cheaper than in France. A drink in a club or bar costs 3 times cheaper, food is delicious and costs less too... The only expensive thing is the cell phone, try to suscribe a contract if you can because the prepaid cards are REALLY expensive.

Because i went a lot more out, almost every three weeks I went on a trip an appartement is more expensive then a room in Beglium and I phoned to my parents which is more expensive of course.

Nightlife and housing simply are more expensive, also when you live in a same kind of house or go out as much as at home. Food and shops in general are cheaper in Spain then in Holland

The cost of life in Spain is lower than in France (especially food and accomodation). Besides I had a part time job in Madrid (I was a sales assistant at Grand Optical), which was another source of fundings.

There is so much to do in Madrid alone. and then all of spain and europe. it costs alot to do things.
