Final comments
Dont worry about preparing too much before you go, because you will learn everything you need to know when you get there. Nothing can really prepare you...which is the best, because you learn the most. Its an amazing experience....well worth it.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because if the campus is centric, it is easier to get to the facilities everyday and one still is able to access to the city without great inconveniences.

Personal comments
The facilities were very good and the staff extremely helpful. The learning experience was very different from the one I had in Portugal because teachers in UCM were more interested in free thinking and personal development than in plain books and notes reproduction.

“Challenges at UCM”
Dreti
Spain, Undergraduate
, 2024
Overall
Despite its initial glitz and glamour, the UCM poses a number of obstacles for students. As you progress through your academic journey at the UCM, you realize that the challenges you face are not just minor hurdles to overcome. The curriculum seems outdated and does not prepare you for the ever-changing job market. Many professors have big egos and are not approachable, which makes it difficult to get guidance from them. The teaching staff lacks experience and is unable to provide you with the knowledge that you need to succeed in your chosen field. Another significant challenge at UCM is the corrupt system. Some professors demand bribes or accept payments to provide good grades or pass students. This pay-to-graduate mentality undermines the integrity of the education system and makes it difficult for students to succeed based on merit. In conclusion, while the UCM has its benefits, it also faces significant challenges that hinder academic progress and student development.

Course recommendations
If your level of spanish isn't that good, select courses that are most likely going to have more international students...like general history and literature classes.

“Excelente universidad”

Spain, Graduate
Political Science, 2019
Overall
Mi experiencia en cuanto a estudios y formación en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid ha sido totalmente satisfactoria, desde el cláustro de profesores en su calidad humana y docente.
Siempre me apasionó la actualidad social y política y los estudios me han brindado una base sobre la cual he desarrollado posteriormente toda mi experiencia y desarrollo profesional.
