Universidad San Pablo CEU

the cost of life in Madrid

the courses are intresting, the professors very good, it's near the center of the city, you will like it

If going again, I would certainly choose another University. My experience was, that nobody liked the idea to have international students in this university. They didn´t organize any activity, not even an welcome or information assembly. If you want to know the results of your exams you have to search the whole university building. Depending on the teacher and the students there were some few courses where I felt welcome but also a lot where I felt like nobody wanted me to be there.

At the CEU, the professor was not very good. She always showed up late, never was enthusiastic about the material, and graded the American students based on a 5 minute oral exam in Spanish (which is our second language). I received the worst grade I have ever received based on one 5 minute exam, when the professor never provided any guidelines or academic support. I did not enjoy my CEU experience nearly as much as I enjoyed my classes through Hamilton College.

I shared my flat with to others, native spanish peolpe. This was good for my spanish skills.
