Just being prepared to go through culture shock and homesickness. It hit me like 6 monthes after I´d been here. And realizing that looking for housing can be difficult.

Everyone should study abroad. Despite it´s ups and downs. It was definitly one of the best decisions I made in my life. It really opened me up, now I plan to work abroad after I finish school.

Well, my program of exchange was designed for American students. So all of my classes only had Americans in them, which made it difficult to interact with natives. Plus, I had a difficult time adjusting to how the courses are taught in Spain. You really don´t do anything the whole semester till finals and midterms come and you are forced to cram. Plus, they are all lectures so it´s difficult to interact and particpate in class. It made me appreciate how American University is taught.

I think it´s difficult when your dealing with how another culture teaches. I prefer it more like American University, where I believe you learn more because you are not forced to cram at the end of the semester and work and exams are spread out equally through out the semester.

I think I improved, but I still think I should have become more fluent. But that is partially my fault for lack of getting more involved. Plus, the Spanish is Spain is a little more difficult to learn than other regions of Latin America.

More of less was because the dollar is a lot stronger than the Spanish Peseta. And I´m from California where most prices are inflated anyways.

Commentaire personnel
Well, housing in Madrid is inexpensive especially for a big city. I paid 200$ a month including utilities and furnishings for my flat. But internet cafes can eat your wallet up, especially if your an internet junkie like myself. But overall Spain is lightly less inexpensive than the US.

I think, I would have preferred to live in my favorite barrio in Madrid, which is Malasaña. It´s really cheap and you get some nice flats, plus there are so many cool shops and bars within walking distance from your doorstep. Although the area I lived in was pretty cool and close to school.

Commentaire personnel
Well the University of Madrid is the biggest University of Spain. So most students live in flats off campus. It can be tough searching for a flat, especially when your not quite native in the language and your not quite familiar with the area in which you want to live in. But with time and patience you can find one that is inexpensive and nice. But it´s best to look before other students arrive in the season, because it becomes much more difficult after that. And some owners, don´t feel confident in renting to international students.

Malasaña was my favorite spot for nightlife. It has a bunch of really cool music bars that have cheap drinks. My favorite bars were La Via Lactea and Morgensterns. Plus, there are primarely only other Spanish there so its more cultural. I also liked this Irish pub in my area Arguelles called Finbars. It was my local pub. There are a lot of concerts in Madrid in which a lot of American and Spanish bands play. One event not to miss in september is the Spanish Communist Party fundraiser. Its a big festival weekend festival, with a lot of food from every province of Spain, music from Spain, and it´s just one kick-ass party thats dirt cheap to get into, plus everything including the festival food is cheap. I guess it kinsa has to be since it is a communist fundraiser.
