Superb professors and student attention
Jorge G

Overall
I have studied here for 4 years, a degree in Industrial Engineering in ICAI. Probably the biggest difference with other prestigious Universities in Spain is the close relationship that the professors have with the students. They are always there to help you with doubts and guidance, and this doesn't happen so much in other places. Also, most of them are very experienced, both in teaching and work outside the university. 
Another good point are the laboratories, which are very complete and again above the standards of Spanish engineering schools, what leads to a more practical formation. 
The studies, however, are not easy, and a big number of students leave them before finishing (by their decision or by direction of the school), but if you work hard at the end it is worth it.

Personal recommendation
ICADE has a good reputation in the Spanish-speaking world (that must be around 1 billion people !), so it's great if you plan to work in one of these countries. But its rules are sligtly outdated, maybe because it's a Roman catholic institution. If you're a marxist, go somewhere else : the teaching has a strong right-wing political orientation.

Try to find accomodation in the city centre, the best thing is to share a flat with other students.

Un acierto

Overall
Me encantó estudiar en Comillas, lo recomiendo 100%. Los profesores son grandes profesionales y muy cercanos. Al ser clases relativamente pequeñas conoces a todo el mundo, se hacen muchos amigos y se viven experiencias estupendas. La bolsa de prácticas y trabajo es muy buena. He estado en sitios en los que me contrataban por el simple hecho de haber estudiado en Comillas.

Try to arrive in madrid a couple of weeks before term starts, finding an apartement can be quite tricky. Try to travel as much as you can.

Overall
This university is really a high performance institution. The courses and teachers are very demanding, but they are also very competent. Study here was a challenge I am really proud I completed succesfully because I truly consider myself as someone prepared enough to develop a succesful career.
