Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM)

There is no such a thing like a typed sylabus... so you have to make notes by hand that means copying!! You don't see a lot in a course and you never go in depth. It stays with an overall course.

Make some typed books with all the material we have to study. It will make things easier for exchange students what to learn and mabye also an example with questions for an exam

More effort to integrate international students with local ones and not just other foreigners

Courses at this university are a joke. Don't bother doing any important subjects, you won't learn anything. Just take a few electives.

Facilities are very old and dilapidated eg: library small and poorly resourced, computers are out of date (10 years old some of them!) and constantly broken. They could be much better organised at this as well. Enrolment is not until the third week of semester and there are no timetables so it is utter chaos to begin with and hard to work out where the hell the classes are. They force you to get your student card from one of the banks on campus which takes over a month which is bloody annoying since you can't borrow library books/do research until you have it.

no

Well, I´d have liked to get more in contact with local students from Madrid.

As soon as you arrive get to know your ERASMUS office, and all those who work there; also become familiar with you tutor in charge of the ERAMUS students. Spain is very beauracratic so expect to fill out lots of paperwork, make sure you have all the necessary letters from your home university so that your registration in your host university isn't delayed.

No.the less work to do the better!!!

You have to have a very independant personality, as all the work is left up to you. There are several outlets for information, but you have to do the work yourself.

No, the system is very different to my University in London, which was strange for me but it does work in its own way.
