Waste of time, money and effort. AVOID THIS PLACE

Overall
I came here a year and a half ago with the objective of learning as much as I could.
Haven`t learned anything. waste of time, teachers are full of ego and most of them don't bother on nothing,t hey just show you a bunch of slides in power point and expect you to learn everything from it.
Administration is horrible, they won't help you on anything and more likely ignore you until is tim for paying.
Student don't care most of them copy in exams, or don't bother to go to class, I had experiences where i went to class and there were only 3 students out of 15.

By the way, around 1.450euros for each class.

There are so many that it is difficult to choose only some of them.But I would say as clubs Gabana,Fortuny, Moma, Pacha(thursday is the best night for it). Cafes...I would say all of those near Calle Serano or Velasquez.

Overall
This university is a rip off. The administration doesn't do it's job correctly, the teachers seem like they don't care. They charge around 1,700 euros per class and all they do is provide you power point slides and read them in class.
Students have a really low level when it comes to skills, seems like this university accepts everyone since their only objective is grab money.
There are better universities in Madrid for better prices.

SOL IS A GREAT AREA TO GO OUT. THE AREA AROUND THE UNIVERSITY IS GOOD AS WELL, I MOSTLY STAY IN THE AREA OF THE UNIVERSITY. CHECK OUT THE CUBAN BAR AROUND THE CORNER.
