ICADE

Before spending a semester in Madrid, I had studied Spanish for nine years at school and had spend some time trvelling trough Spain! Indeed I didn't have major problems to understand or speak the language! Yet, I didn't speak as fluently as I wished to! Spending those 6 months in the country allowed me acquire a relly high level of spoken and written spanish. I'm at ease in every situation now....

It is better to travel by bus. I you can, it is better not to try to open a bank acccount.

whe I arrived in madrid I couldn't spoken spanish at all but after an year I can say that I'm quite satisfacted about my level of spanish. it was quite difficult the first month but then I was able to speak in any situations.

Banks here are more expensive than in Ireland and their service is not as good.

My experience living in Madrid and studding my MBA is great. I am from Uruguay, small country, and I worked the last six years for an American company. The decision to come to Spain to do my MBA was because I want to improve in my profession and grow like a person and my career. I thought that Europe will help me to increase my experience and open more my mind.

ICADE does not have "dorms". However, they provide you with a very up-to-date list of available apartments in Madrid.
