Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
The campus is far from the Univesity, so to enjoy living in the city you should rent a room. If with a family: no nightlife neither friends staying over.

Personal comments
they should arrange some kind of program to help to find accomodation for international students. It´s pretty scary to arrive to Madrid without any place to stay.
